Categorization of the Elderly by the Elderly
Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 1984Selected aspects of the Brewer, Dull, and Lui (1981) study of stereotypes of the aged were replicated with elderly individuals as subjects.

Journal of Hypertension, 1987
The relation between hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, and heart failure in the elderly is well established. The concept that this was entirely due to hardening of the arteries and, therefore, an essential feature of aging has been revised in the last 15 years to show that there are groups of elderly people in whom hypertension is not a problem ...

Critical Care Clinics, 2013
Infections have plagued humans since the beginning of recorded history. Huge segments of the human population were episodically wiped out by epidemic infectious diseases in past centuries. Infection was and is often the final cause of mortality in the debilitated elderly. Substantial ongoing research has been performed to investigate mechanisms, causes,

Cholecystectomy in the elderly
The American Journal of Surgery, 1988A series of 347 elderly patients undergoing cholecystectomy has been presented. The older a patient is at the time of cholecystectomy, the more likely it is for that patient to present with an acute biliary complication. The elderly tolerate biliary tract operations quite well, especially before acute complications of cholelithiasis occur.

Hyperthyroidism in the Elderly
Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 1986“I fear that our profession as a whole is not even now sufficiently alive to the presence in their clientele of many patients suffering from thyrotoxicosis, camouflaged as heart disease.” Hyperthyroidism in the elderly is a great masquerader. We will present a summary of a remarkable patient to serve as a background for an analysis of present knowledge

Aging Health, 2004
Persons over the age of 65 years are the fastest growing segment of the US population. In the next 30 years it will comprise over 20% of the population. More than 50% of all cancers occur in this age group and therefore, the total cancer burden is expected to rise.

Psychiatric Clinics of North America, 1989
Presentation differs from that in the young, as does choice of therapy, which tends to be empiric. The tricyclics are considered the best treatment, although electroconvulsive therapy may be preferable in severe delusional depression.
