Abstract:

Age-related maculopathy (ARM) is a leading cause of permanent vision loss in elderly people. ARM therefore constitutes an important public health problem which will increase in magnitude as the number of aged people in the general population becomes greater. The consequences of this condition are exacerbated by the fact that treatment, especially of the geographic or dry form of the disease, is ineffective. While laser photocoagulation may be helpful in the exudative, disciform or wet form of ARM, there is often an inexorable progression towards severe vision loss in these patients. Th

Abstract:

This dissertation breaks new ground. It examines the perceptions of older adults towards AIDS prevention. Using the National Health Interview Survey, 1988: AIDS Knowledge and Attitudes Supplement, a modified Health Belief Model is developed. Despite the low number of older adults 55+ with AIDS, some extenuating circumstances increase their risk of AIDS contraction. Older adults have lower levels of knowledge about AIDS, weaker immune systems and receive more blood transfusions. Societal influences include educational neglect at the hands of physicians, healthcare workers and social service per

Thirty-two parkinsonians were compared to 32 age-, sex-, and education-matched healthy controls on measures of depression (Beck Inventory), dementia (Mattis Dementia Rating Scale), and primary and secondary memory components of Free Verbal Recall.

Sub-groups of 41 parkinsonians (including the 32 patients described above) were used to compare the relative contributions of depression, age of onset, and general

Abstract:

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has various risk factors including old age and female sex; however, the biological reasoning behind these is not fully understood. COPD prevalence and mortality increase with age. COPD patients also seem to demonstrate pulmonary and systemic accelerated aging. When people age, repetitive sequences at their chromosomes ends, called telomeres, shorten. In COPD this may occur at an increased rate due to increased cell turnover or DNA damage, caused by inflammation and oxidative stress, and could contribute to lung function decline. Therefore, we measur

In general, generalized linear models are the main methods which can be applied to depict the impact of age and gender on the behavioral risk of becoming infected with HIV/AIDS virus.

In half of AMD cases, polymorphisms in the gene encoding complement factor H (CFH) are associated with susceptibility to the disease.

Abstract:

The age range at which type 2 diabetes develops has recently expanded. Thus chronological age and age of onset are now important variables in this already heterogeneous disease. The increasing prevalence of early-onset diabetes in particular raises clinical and societal concerns. Such individuals have a longer life-time disease duration and potentially can develop more diabetes related complications, at a relatively young age, perhaps during the most productive periods of their lives. The determinants of, and impact on outcome of age of onset as a clinical variable are unclear. Therefo

Abstract:

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), age-related macular degeneration (AMO) and invasive meningococcal disease (IMO) are multifactorial diseases which have genetic and environmental risk factors. The complement system is an ancient part of the innate immune system that is activated in all three of these diseases. AAA is a pathological dilatation of the abdominal aorta that can rupture, often causing death. AMD is a common sight-impairing inflammatory retinal disease. IMD is due to infection with Neisseria meningilidis, which can cause potentially fatal illness in some people. The aim of this work

Abstract:

Parkinson's disease (PD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disease characterized by the selective loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the brain. The pathogenesis and etiology of PD are unclear. Mitochondrial dysfunction occurs in PD, causing a decrease in complex I activity in postmortem brain, and exacerbating reactive oxygen species production and ATP deficiency contributing to neuronal cell death. Mutation of leucine-rich-repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene is the most common genetic factor identified in both familial and sporadic PD cases. Several mutations in LRRK2 have be

Circadian oscillator genes Period1-3 and Cryptochrome1-2 encode proteins that form transcription repressor complexes that feedback to inhibit CLOCK/NPAS2:BMAL1 activity, thus completing the feedback loop that is the basis of the molecular circa
