Healthy Aging as Disease? [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2011
In the scientific and popular literature recently there has been a widespread call for classifying normal aging as a disease, a condition that can be “manipulated, treated, and delayed” (Gems, 2010; Kelland, 2010). The main argument given by supporters of this suggestion is that grant-awarding bodies would be more likely to fund research into how, when,

Independent glial subtypes delay development and extend healthy lifespan upon reduced insulin-PI3K signalling

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2020
Background The increasing age of global populations highlights the urgent need to understand the biological underpinnings of ageing. To this end, inhibition of the insulin/insulin-like signalling (IIS) pathway can extend healthy lifespan in diverse ...

Fall awareness behaviour and its associated factors among community dwelling older adults

open access: yesBMC Geriatrics, 2021
Background Falls are one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity in older adults. However, despite adoption of prevention strategies, the number of falls in older adults has not declined.

Relationship of muscle function to circulating myostatin, follistatin and GDF11 in older women and men

open access: yesBMC Geriatrics, 2018
Background Myostatin, its inhibitor follistatin, and growth/differentiation factor 11 (GDF11) have been proposed as factors that could potentially modify biological aging.
