Abstract:

L'utilisation de la simulation informatique pour comprendre comment les visages humains vieillissent est un domaine de recherche en pleine croissance depuis des décennies. Cela a été appliqué à la recherche d'enfants disparus ainsi qu'aux domaines du divertissement, des cosmétiques et de la recherche en dermatologie. Notre objectif est de modéliser les changements des traits du visage liés à l'âge, afin de mieux les prédire. Dans ce travail, une nouvelle perspective pour faire vieillir un visage est proposée : un modèle actif d'apparence axé sur les rides. Tout d'abord, les visages sont décomp

Abstract:

The main objective of this work is to address the growing concern of balance loss and falls in the aging population. The initial aspect looks at balance control in a dynamic environment. Observation of age and gender influence on motor control will be made related to a new dynamic balance testing platform (DBTP). The topic of focus in the second portion relates to reaction time in an unstable environment. Research has found that balance improves when physical activity is a part of daily life for seniors. Physical activity influence on reaction time will be investigated with a new approach to e

Abstract:

Aging results from an accumulation of damage to macromolecules inhibiting cellular replication, repair, and other necessary functions. Damage may be due to environmental stressors such as metal toxicity, oxidative stress caused by imperfections in electron transfer reactions, or other metabolic processes. In an effort to discover medical treatments that counteract this damage, we have initiated a program to search for small molecule drugs from natural sources. We have identified marine red algae as a source of natural products that slow aging of the invertebrate rotifer Brachionus manjavacas.

Abstract:

Ageing is a progressive impairment of function causing decreased defense against environmental challenges and increased risk of many diseases. The development of ageing and ageing-related diseases might be attenuated by nutrients such as carotenoids and polyunsaturated fatty acids. In the present study, for the first time, two nutrient-rich marine microalgae, namely Haematococcus pluvialis (HP) and Schizochytrium mangrovei (SM) were studied for their anti-ageing effects both in vitro and in vivo. Results of nutritional profile analysis confirmed that HP is rich in astaxanthin (AX) (978.9 μ

In order to increase the number of older adults physically active enough to obtain the health benefits of exercise, inactive individuals must firstly be identified, and attention must then be focused on determinants of exercise amenable to change. This study set out to develop self-complete questionnaires for assessing activity status, and perceived benefits of, and barriers to, physical activity. Of 1456 questionnaires sent out to a random sample of adults aged 55-74 a usable return rate of 37.6% (n=548) was achieved.

Abstract:

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a multifactorial progressive chronic ocular disease. Genetics, environmental insults, and age-related issues are risk factors for the development of the disease. Dysfunction of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is involved in AMD and oxidative stress in RPE is one of the major causes of the etiopathogenesis of AMD. Therefore, the introduction of antioxidants may represent one of the most effective ways to delay the onset of AMD.

Mitochondrial function declines with aging and obesity, and has been implicated in the development of many age-related diseases. Caloric restriction (CR) prevents aging and has been shown to induce mitochondrial biogenesis and improve mitochondrial function. These effects may involve increased activity of the \(NAD^+\)-dependent deacetylase SIRT1. Indeed, overexpression of SIRT1 reproduces many of the health benefits of CR including induction of mitochondrial biogenesis by deacetylation and activation of the transcriptional co-activator \(PGC-1\alpha\).

Abstract:

Contexte : Les sujets âgés représentent un groupe d’âge dont la proportion ne cesse d’augmenter. Ainsi, la lutte contre la sédentarité et la pratique d’une activité physique régulière demeure l’une des principales mesures qui devrait être privilégiée chez les seniors. L’objectif principal de ce travail était de déterminer les effets d’un nouveau protocole de réentraînement en endurance sur ergocycle alternatif « le Programme d’Entraînement Personnalisé sur Cycle à charge constante avec Récupération intermittente » (PEP’C-R) sur les paramètres d’endurance et cardio-respiratoires maximaux chez d

Abstract:

La maladie d'Alzheimer (MA) est une démence neurodégénérative caractérisée par des pertes de la mémoire et des troubles cognitifs. La toxicité des oligomères solubles du peptide [bêta]-amyloïde (A[bêta]Os) est centrale dans la phase précoce de la maladie. L'absence de traitements curatifs, l'aspect chronique des mécanismes pathogéniques et le partage de facteurs de risque communs avec les pathologies cardiovasculaires, notamment les paramètres alimentaires et le métabolisme lipidique, doivent inciter à considérer l'intérêt de méthodes préventives permettant d'empêcher l'apparition de la maladi

Abstract:

Un des phénomènes sociétaux marquants de ces dernières années est le vieillissement de la population et en conséquence, une hausse considérable du nombre de personnes âgées. Dans ce contexte, la recrudescence des pathologies chroniques liées au vieillissement, dont la maladie d’Alzheimer, est devenue un enjeu majeur de santé publique. L’impact de nombreux facteurs environnementaux modulables, l’aspect chronique et évolutif des mécanismes pathogènes mis en jeu, doivent inciter à développer des interventions préventives permettant de minimiser les risques de développer ces maladies liées au viei

Abstract:

Falls are a significant health problem for the ageing population as health outcomes decline as 30% of people over the age of 65 experience at least one fall annually. Prevention interventions are well established in the literature but falls continue in high numbers in Australia, in line with global trends. General practitioners are well situated to reduce falls for community dwelling older people but research is unclear which interventions are effective in the general practice context. Using a systematic review methodology with meta-analysis this review has addressed the question of which inte

Abstract:

Provisional Question for the thesis to address: Indicated and selective prevention of common mental health problems in later life: Is there a theoretical rationale for an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approach? Background The burden of late life depression and anxiety is significant. Even subthreshold symptoms result in great individual, community, economic and societal cost. However, common mental health problems in later life are under‐recognised and under‐treated despite evidence in support of pharmacological and psychological intervention.

Abstract:

This thesis looks at the subject of old age and retirement in the later years of the Scottish Enlightenment. These subjects are examined in relation to the final years of the physician and natural philosopher, Professor William Cullen (1710–1790). The Cullen Consultation Correspondence digital database (http://cullenproject.ac.uk/) is used to examine letters between the doctor and some of his elderly patients and a study of the botanical materia medica prescribed for this patient group is made. There follows an examination of Cullen’s personal retirement project, his improved farm and designed

Abstract:

Age-related bone fractures are usually painful and have highly negative effects on a geriatric patient's functional status, quality of life, and survival. Currently, there are few analgesic therapies that fully control bone fracture pain in the elderly without significant unwanted side effects. However, another way of controlling age-related fracture pain would be to preemptively administer an osteo-anabolic agent to geriatric patients with high risk of fracture, so as to build new cortical bone and prevent the fracture from occurring. A major question, however, is whether an osteo-anabolic ag

Abstract:

Despite the well-known benefits of physical activity, in 2012, only 37.5% of older adults aged 60 years or older met recommended aerobic physical activity levels and 16.1% met muscle-strengthening guidelines. Effective exercise programs can help combat the problem of inactivity but 50% of those who start participating in an exercise program drop out within first few weeks, preventing them from gaining any health benefits. Since fall 2008, the Healthy Aging Regional Collaborative of South Florida has offered EnhanceFitness (EF), an evidence-based physical activity program to older adults. This

Abstract:

The purpose of the present thesis was driven by the limited existing evidence examining nutritional and physical activity (PA) profiles of older migrant women, and the importance of such studies for the planning and development of appropriate strategies to promote healthy ageing. This thesis adopted a mixed-methods approach to explore current dietary intake, nutrient status, and key factors influencing dietary factors (Chapter 3) of first generation migrant older women from diverse ethnic, socio-economic, and migration backgrounds (n=76). Chapter 4 sought to explore if the reported low energy
