Full textAbstract:
Foot problems are common in elderly people and healthy feet are recognized as a key factor in maintaining activity and independence. People aged over 75 years exhibit a greater degree of foot pathology than a younger population and foot pain is prevalent in a high percentage of elderly patients. Foot problems impair mobility in many older people and may also contribute to falls. The immobility that results from a local foot problem can have a significant impact on the patient’s ability to maintain life as a useful member of society and has been identified as a common cause of unreported disability, often accepted as an accompaniment of the aging process. With increasing age, many foot problems which may have been well compensated for earlier in life will begin to reduce an elderly person’s mobility and health-related quality of life.

Full textAbstract:
Research findings on mental health and life satisfaction among aged blacks, Mexican-Americans and native Americans are reviewed. Although the literature has generally followed a social stress perspective that predicts greater mental health problems among minority group aged, the evidence shows that mental health and life satisfaction of these groups is not any lower than might be anticipated based on their relative socioeconomic standing. It is concluded that, despite increased research, little is known about how ethnicity and minority group status influence psychopathology and life satisfaction in late life.

Full textAbstract:
Approximately two million Americans estimated to have severe visual impairment could be helped by services not readily available through the nation's vision care system. Ophthalmologists do not routinely suggest low vision services to their severely visually impaired patients that could help prevent deterioration in the quality of life. Many patients with limited vision go unidentified and untreated. This is particularly true for those over 65 whose numbers are rising and who are experiencing more low vision problems than any other age group. Significant visual impairment occurs in more than 25 percent of the aged population in general, and more than 12 percent of the population over age 65 are legally blind. Approximately 990,000 elderly had severe visual impairment in 1977, and by the year 2000, this number will rise to 1,760,000. As the aged population increases, so does the need for low vision services.

Objectives: Normal older persons often experience presbyphagia due to aging. This study utilized the 18-item self-reported questionnaire of the Swallowing Monitoring & Assessment Protocol (SMAP) to identify swallowing difficulties that might appear during natural aging.Methods: After excluding those with neurological disorders, dysphagia-related disorders, and/or cognitive problems, a total of 822 healthy older adults aged 65 or older (mean age= 76.88± 5.60; men:women= 277:545) were surveyed by the self-reported swallowing function questionnaire of the SMAP. The total score of the 18-item questionnaire (5-point Likert scale: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) was extracted and the ranking was determined based on the mean score of each item. Ranking among two age groups (aged 65-74 and aged 75≤ ) was compared with a Spearman rank correlation, and the difference in total scores by age group was examined with the Mann-Whitney test.Results: The mean total score was 7.81± 7.63 (range 0-58). Swallowing problems related to ‘dry mouth’, ‘meal volume’, ‘mealtime’, and ‘choking on water or liquid’ were regarded as chief complaints. There was a significant correlation between the ranking of questions by age group. The mean total score was significantly higher for groups aged 75 or older (n = 494; mean age = 80.46 ± 3.98) than those aged 65 to 74 (n= 328; mean age= 71.49± 2.51) (<i>p</i>< .01).Conclusion: The chief complaints for swallowing reported by older adults can be considered as main swallowing problems caused by aging. By identifying precise swallowing difficulties that appear during normal aging, we should be able to alleviate presbyphagia via early detection and intervention.

A half-year's residence in the Siberian industrial city of Kemerovo permitted a variety of ethnographic observations on the aged and aging. These were supplemented by interactions with medical personnel, as well as a review of the scanty literature (geriatrics is not a recognized medical specialty in the Soviet Union). The integration of the aged in families is noteworthy, as is the respect generally given them. But hard living conditions, difficulties of transportation, dietary inadequacies, and a severe paucity of specialized facilities present problems for the elderly.

Full textAbstract:
Aging occurs along with multiple pathological problems in various organs. The aged brain, especially, shows a reduction in brain mass, neuronal cell death, energy dysregulation, and memory loss. Brain aging is influenced by altered metabolites both in the systemic blood circulation and the central nervous system (CNS). High levels of ammonia, a natural by-product produced in the body, have been reported as contributing to inflammatory responses, energy metabolism, and synaptic function, leading to memory function in CNS. Ammonia levels in the brain also increase as a consequence of the aging process, ultimately leading to neuropathological problems in the CNS. Although many researchers have demonstrated that the level of ammonia in the body alters with age and results in diverse pathological alterations, the definitive relationship between ammonia and the aged brain is not yet clear. Thus, we review the current body of evidence related to the roles of ammonia in the aged brain. On the basis of this, we hypothesize that the modulation of ammonia level in the CNS may be a critical clinical point to attenuate neuropathological alterations associated with aging.

Full textAbstract:
Giving support may be a stressful or rewarding experience, and little is known about how family members perceive giving support amid problems or crises. Using a sample of 226 mother–child dyads (mother mean age = 75.04 years; child mean age = 49.57 years), we examine how mothers and their middle-aged children perceive giving support in the context of life problems. Actor–partner interdependence models tested whether associations between problems and perceptions of support are moderated by frequency of support given and if associations were stronger for daughters or sons. Children perceived giving support to their mother as more stressful when they had more of their own problems and gave high levels of support. Daughters, but not sons, considered helping their mother more stressful when their mother had more problems and they gave high levels of support. Distinctions between mother–son and mother–daughter dyads demonstrate the merit of a dyadic approach to understanding mother–child relationships.

Full textAbstract:
Responses to questions on the 1984 Supplement on Aging to the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) about the experience of personal confusion revealed that two-thirds of those interviewed reported never having an episode of confusion during the preceding year. Of those who reported episodes, fewer than one in five said they were happening with increased frequency. The many meanings of confusion found in the literature prompted a modest local study of what respondents understood by the term when asked the NHIS questions. Of those who admitted occasional confusion, almost two-thirds gave definitions that included memory loss or forgetfulness. Consequently, increased frequency of memory problems and difficulty in remembering were included with other variables in the analyses to identify significant predictors. They emerged the single best predictors of how often a respondent reported getting confused. Others were change in health status, number of functional limitations, educational attainment, and vision problems.

There are many dangerous situations for adult development related to the progress of new information technologies. The article presents a new approach to the issue of disability in the context of the changing ITC technologies and the phenomenon of aging populations. Polish society, like many European societies, is subject to the process of aging. People in late adulthood find it more difficult to learn to use new technologies more easily. This means that an increasing number of people may have problems in full-fledged functioning in society. They will become disabled in the light of the WHO definition. Appropriate education is the way to counteract this phenomenon.

Full textAbstract:
Previous work in rats and primates has shown that normal aging can be associated with a decline in cognitive flexibility mediated by prefrontal circuits. For example, aged rats are impaired in rapid reversal learning, which in young rats depends critically on the orbitofrontal cortex. To assess whether aging-related reversal impairments reflect orbitofrontal dysfunction, we identified aged rats with reversal learning deficits and then recorded single units as these rats, along with unimpaired aged cohorts and young control rats, learned and reversed a series of odor discrimination problems. We found that the flexibility of neural correlates in orbitofrontal cortex was markedly diminished in aged rats characterized as reversal-impaired in initial training. In particular, although many cue-selective neurons in young and aged-unimpaired rats reversed odor preference when the odor-outcome associations were reversed, cue-selective neurons in reversal-impaired aged rats did not. In addition, outcome-expectant neurons in aged-impaired rats failed to become active during cue sampling after learning. These altered features of neural encoding could provide a basis for cognitive inflexibility associated with normal aging.

Full textAbstract:
Contact and relationship quality between adult children and aging parents are two widely used indicators of intergenerational solidarity and are often assumed to be positively correlated. However, the association between the two may depend on characteristics of the parent involved. Using Family Exchanges Study Wave 1, this study assessed whether parental difficulties—measured as functional limitations and life problems—and gender moderated the associations between middle-aged adults’ contact and relationship quality with their parents. We found that more frequent email or phone contact was associated with worse relationship quality for fathers who had functional limitations. For life problems, however, more contact was not related to relationship quality for fathers with life problems. The associations did not differ by mother’s difficulties. These results suggest that frequent contact between middle-aged adult children and aging parents does not uniformly reflect better relationship quality but rather depends on parents’ characteristics.

Full textAbstract:
Applications of technology to improve the living and working environment and medical care of aging and aged people define a newly developing discipline called gerontechnology. Both this field and the human factors applications to aging that are embedded in it require a developmental view of the relationship between a person and her/his environment. From a developmental viewpoint, technology can affect aging through prevention of chronic problems that limit mobility; enhancement of social activities, work, education and recreation, and compensation for impaired functioning. Integration of technology into the lives of aging persons reacquires a developmental approach to the design of products and environments, consumer involvement in design and significant changes in the infrastructure for technology development and dispersal.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background and Objectives Older adults’ health trajectory is often pictured as loss and decline. Recent literature has questioned this assumption. Conceptualizing health as a multidimensional construct, encompassing physical disabilities, functional limitations, chronic diseases, depressive symptoms, memory problems, and self-rated health, we investigated patterns of health trajectories among middle-aged and older adults in the United States. Moreover, we investigated the relationship between self-perceptions of aging (SPAs) and health trajectory patterns. Research Design and Methods We used latent class growth modeling to examine health trajectory patterns, based on longitudinal data with 4 measurement points over a 7-year period from a national sample of 10,212 middle-aged and older adults (aged 51 and older). Multinomial logit models were used to examine how health trajectory patterns were associated with baseline SPA. Results We identified 4 health trajectory patterns: accelerated aging, usual aging, depressed aging, and healthy aging. The full model shows that with each one-unit increase in negative SPA, the odds of belonging to an accelerated aging group, depressed aging group, and usual aging group (vs healthy aging group) increased by 26%, 17%, and 9%, respectively. Discussion and Implications The combination of health changes across different domains results in health trajectories that cannot be understood as simply a declining process. SPAs are associated with individuals’ trajectories of health.

‘Gerontology’ is a term that refers to the scientific study of old age, the process of aging and the special problems of old people. This paper will discuss about the problems of the old man, Nariman Vakeel from the novel Family Matters by Rohinton Mistry. Though the definition focusses on the three aspects of old age namely (i) scientific study (ii) process of aging and the (iii) special problems of old people. Mistry as a literary writer focusses mainly on the last one that is the special problems of old people. Mistry also concentrates on the aging process; the aging refers to a multidimensional process of physical, psychological and social changes. With these perceptions in his mind he narrates the story of an old man aged 79 affected by Parkinson disease. He faces health problems and because of it, he faces problems with his children, his familial relationship as a father and as a grandfather is spoiled; and that affects him psychologically day by day throughout the novel. This paper aims at suggesting a few solutions to the problems of old age people which may contribute to better understanding of individuals at home and in society.

Full textAbstract:
The aging of the workforce leads to a reduction in the able-bodied population, this why serious socioeconomic problems threaten both for the Russian economy and for organizations. One of the possible solution strategies to making working life in later ages longer is to change the policy of managing workers aged 45–50. The revision of many practices in age-managing leads to awareness of the need in new format of relations between employers and age employees known as “business partnerships”, which include the formation of a continuity of generations, the preservation of institutional memory, corporate culture. This approach also contains some risks caused by the peculiarities of the older workers, and Irrational system of personnel management. A systematic and complete definition of risks will allow organizations and employees to avoid threats or create opportunities for their compensation.

Introduction. In recent decades, a steady increase in the population of elderly people and a decrease in minors and youth have been reported all over the world. These processes present certain problems, including for the criminal justice system. Most crimes are still committed by persons under the age of 30. However, a demographic shift towards the elderly, particularly, in response to social problems senior citizens are increasingly faced with, may mean that we should expect increased crime on the part of persons aged 50 and older. Although the said processes seem obvious, little attention is still given to the problems of age-related crime. There is not enough data on the extent of crimes committed by the elderly. Theoretical Basis. Methods. In terms of methodology, the study was based on general scientific methods (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, a system analysis method) and methods of legal science (methods of comparative law, methods of literal, systematic and historical interpretation of legal norms). The theoretical basis of the work was the scientific works of Russian and foreign experts in the field of criminal law, criminology, psychology, gerontology. Results. Analysis of legislation and scientific literature indicates that no single concept of old age has yet been developed. The criminal law has not provided for a single age limit for several types of criminal liability. At the same time, some scientists suggest that a threshold for age-related liability should be established, elderly age considered a circumstance that mitigates and even exempts from criminal liability, and that a sentence of imprisonment should not be imposed on persons aged 80 and older, etc. Discussion and Conclusion. Analysis the regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation and judicial practice, existing theoretical provisions has led to the conclusion that the legislator should define the “elderly” age, and first of all, proceed from the principle of the equality of all before the law and the presumption of sanity when determining the criminal legal meaning of the age of a person who committed a crime.

Full textAbstract:
Children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) are at increased risk for attention problems. While most research has been conducted with school-aged cohorts, preschool-aged children offer a novel developmental window for clinical studies, with the promise that treatments implemented earlier in the developmental trajectory may most effectively modify risk for later difficulties. Designing research studies around the youngest children with NF1 can result in intervention earlier in the developmental cascade associated with NF1 gene abnormalities. Furthermore, clinical trials for medications targeting physical and psychological aspects of NF1 often include individuals spanning a wide age range, including preschool-aged children. In a prior report, the REiNS Neurocognitive Subcommittee made recommendations regarding performance-based and observer-rated measures of attention for use in clinical trials and highlighted the need for separate consideration of assessment methods for young children. The observer-rated Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale–Preschool version is recommended as a primary outcome measure. The NIH Toolbox Flanker, Dimensional Change Card Sort, and List Sort Working Memory tasks and Digits Forward from the Differential Ability Scales–2nd Edition (performance-based measures) are recommended as secondary outcome measures. Specific methodologic recommendations for inclusion of preschoolers in clinical trials research are also offered.

Full textAbstract:
Rice wine is a kind of low alcohol and high nutrition four season drinking wine made from water and glutinous rice. Generally, new rice wine needs to undergo a natural aging process for about 1 year. In order to solve the problems of long natural aging period and poor aging effect of rice wine, a set of rice wine aging device was designed and a comprehensive method was used to age the rice wine. By orthogonal experiments, the optimal aging process parameters were determined, which were temperature 55 °C, aging time 12 days, and hydrogen peroxide addition 4 mL/200 mL. The results show that the content of ethyl acetate and ethyl lactate in rice wine are 0.44 g/L and 0.80 g/L respectively and the content of total acid and total sugar reaches 6.9 g/L and 230.2 g/L respectively. Compared with naturally aged rice wine, it is verified that the effect of artificial aging can achieve the effect of natural aging for one year. This experiment provides a new method for the study of artificial aging of rice wine.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract We examined the role of subjective age views (subjective age; attitudes toward own aging [ATOA]; aging-related cognitions, comprising continuous growth, social loss, and physical decline) for changes in self-reported problems with vision and hearing over up to 9 years. A subsample of the German Ageing Survey (2,499 adults aged 60-85 years at baseline) was investigated. Controlling for gender, age, education, self-rated health, and region of residence (West vs. East Germany), a younger subjective age at baseline predicted less steep increase in vision problems among individuals who were chronologically older at baseline. More favorable ATOA scores were associated with less increase in hearing problems. Higher scores on continuous growth went along with less increase in hearing problems, whereas higher social loss scores were associated with a steeper increase in vision problems. Several associations increased with advancing age. Our findings suggest that subjective age views indeed predict late-life changes in sensory problems.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIt is well established that motor impairment often occurs alongside healthy aging, leading to problems with fine motor skills and coordination. Although previously thought to be caused by neuronal death accumulating across the lifespan, it is now believed that the source of this impairment instead stems from more subtle changes in neural connectivity. The dendritic spine is a prime target for exploration of this problem because it is the postsynaptic partner of most excitatory synapses received by the pyramidal neuron, a cortical cell that carries much of the information processing load in the cerebral cortex. We repeatedly imaged the same dendrites in young adult and aged mouse motor cortex over the course of 1 month to look for differences in the baseline state of the dendritic spine population. These experiments reveal increased dendritic spine density, without obvious changes in spine clustering, occurring at the aged dendrite. Additionally, aged dendrites exhibit elevated spine turnover and stabilization alongside decreased long-term spine survival. These results suggest that at baseline the aged motor cortex may exist in a perpetual state of relative instability and attempts at compensation. This phenotype of aging may provide clues for future targets of aging-related motor impairment remediation.

Full textAbstract:
One of the key problems of Polish labor market is the aging of the work resources. Many employers guided by the perception about the homogeneity of the population of people 55+ does not want to employ them, believing that the older people are unproductive, work slower and their employment will result in higher absenteeism rates for employers and higher labor costs. In the article an issue of support to the employment of people over 55 is discussed. The aim of the article is an indication of the potential ways to sustain and extend their working lives. The question has become out-of-school activities in the area of professional education – training, coaching and mentoring inverted as a method of improving competence or offset the deficits of competence of older workers. The article presents the analysis of the literature, research results of GUS and personal research and other authors.

Aging is closely connected with death, progressive physiological decline, and increased risk of diseases, such as cancer, arteriosclerosis, heart disease, hypertension, and neurodegenerative diseases. It is reported that moxibustion can treat more than 300 kinds of diseases including aging related problems and can improve immune function and physiological functions. The digital gene expression profiling of aged mice with or without moxibustion treatment was investigated and the mechanisms of moxibustion in aged mice were speculated by gene ontology and pathway analysis in the study. Almost 145 million raw reads were obtained by digital gene expression analysis and about 140 million (96.55%) were clean reads. Five differentially expressed genes with an adjusted P value < 0.05 and |log2(fold change)| > 1 were identified between the control and moxibustion groups. They were Gm6563, Gm8116, Rps26-ps1, Nat8f4, and Igkv3-12. Gene ontology analysis was carried out by the GOseq R package and functional annotations of the differentially expressed genes related to translation, mRNA export from nucleus, mRNA transport, nuclear body, acetyltransferase activity, and so on. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database was used for pathway analysis and ribosome was the most significantly enriched pathway term.

Full textAbstract:
Background. As the skin is the largest organ of the human body, it is aging inevitably and produces cosmetic and psychological problems, and even disease. Therefore, the molecular mechanisms related to the prevention of skin aging need to be further explored. Methods. Aging models were constructed by D-galactose. Mice were administrated with polygoni multiflori radix preparat (PMRP), PMRP and 3-methyladenine, or PMRP and rapamycin intragastrically. The apparent and viscera index of aged rats was measured. Then, the physicochemical property, antioxidant ability, histological structure, mitochondrial membrane potential, ATP and ROS levels, and mitophagy of aged skins were determined. Finally, the expression of PINK1, Parkin, P62, and LC3II/I; apoptosis-related proteins; and the percentage of apoptotic cells were measured. Results. PMRP relieved skin aging with reducing of thymus index, improvement of pathological damage and histological structure, increase of the expression area of fibrous tissue, the ratio of type I to type III collagen, and antioxidant ability of aged skins. Importantly, PMRP also improved mitochondrial dysfunction with an increase in the content of mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP and a decrease of ROS levels. Moreover, mitophagy was enhanced with the treatment of PMRP when observed using electron microscopy, and the expression of PINK1, Parkin, and LC3I/II was increased with PMRP treatment but P62 expression was decreased. Meanwhile, PMRP alleviated apoptosis with a decrease of apoptotic cell and the expression of Cleaved-cas3, Bax, Cyt-c, AIF, and Smac as well as an increase of Bcl-2 expression. Conclusion. The results demonstrated that the polygoni multiflori radix preparata may delay skin aging by inducing mitophagy.

Full textAbstract:
Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare genetic disease that is characterized by precocious aging in infants and always leads to early death from heart attacks or strokes at a mean age of around 13–14 years. The premature aging is manifest through cutaneous changes resembling normal aged skin, alopecia (hair loss), lipodystrophy, skeletal changes (coxa valga and low bone mineral density, although this may not be due to osteoporosis as in normal aging, but rather a failure to properly develop bone throughout infancy) and intense atherosclerosis. Other changes commonly associated with aging are absent, such as cataracts and diabetes mellitus, and there are no reported problems with cognition or CNS neurology1. Thus HGPS belongs to the small group of genetic disorders called the segmental progeroid syndromes (Figure 1).

Full textAbstract:
One consequence of aging is diminished physical powers. In some cases, mental capabilities deteriorate, with concomitant rigidity of thought, impairment of intellect, emotional instability, and denial of disability (e.g., Post, 1980). Some have speculated that biological factors may have an effect on the political behavior of the elderly (see, e.g., G. Schubert, 1983). Campbell, Converse, Miller, and Stokes (1960:262) note that decline of voter turnout with age is “… undoubtedly due to infirmities that make trips to the polling place more difficult.” Hudson and Binstock (1976:370) suggest that lowered participation “… may be interpreted in terms of physical declines….” Light (1981:2343) hypothesizes that “Health and mobility problems apparently prevent the elderly from topping the middle-aged in turnout.” On the other hand, Wolfinger and Rosenstone (1980) find that with the introduction of controls for length of residence, income, education, and gender, the political effects of aging seem to disappear. However, no direct tests of the physical effects of aging upon the political orientations and behavior of the aged have appeared.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to determine employment satisfaction of middle-aged and older workers who obtain a job after their initial retirement, and describe factors affecting employment satisfaction among workers focusing on family and employment types, and their mediating effects. Design/methodology/approach This study performed a secondary data analysis on data from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (fifth wave of KLoSA) of the Korea Employment Information Service. The author used data from 1,307 middle-aged and older workers who obtained a new job after leaving the previous workplace from the 2014 KLoSA, and determined their employment satisfaction, family type and employment type. Findings In this study, high scores were indicated in turnover intentions of the participants, and job stability presented was lowest in the subcategories of employment satisfaction. Employment type showed a significant mediation effect between dwelling type and re-employment satisfaction (p<0.05). Social implications Middle-aged workers are a key human resource for economic growth in South Korea, which is faced with a “super aging” population. Recently, international society has encountered the same problems of low-birth rate and aging in their economically viable/or engaged. Our society and its members should realize the changes in population structure facing the world today and find effective strategies to stabilize employment among middle-aged workers. This study provides evidence for one of the differing perspectives on understanding employment turnover in middle-aged workers. Originality/value The South Korean Government could use this study’s findings in formulating a strategy concerning family types that improves re-employment satisfaction among middle-aged and older workers. Also, the path of mediation effects, such as choice of employment type, will need to apply to a strategy of work stability for middle-aged and older workers.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is concerned with round-robin analyses of probabilistic fracture mechanics (PFM) problems of aged RPV material. Analyzed here is a plate with a semi-elliptical surface crack subjected to various cyclic tensile and bending stresses. A depth and an aspect ratio of the surface crack are assumed to be probabilistic variables. Failure probabilities are calculated using the Monte Carlo methods with the importance sampling or the stratified sampling techniques. Material properties are chosen from the Marshall report, the ASME Code Section XI, and the experiments on a Japanese RPV material carried out by the Life Evaluation (LE) subcommittee of the Japan Welding Engineering Society (JWES), while loads are determined referring to design loading conditions of pressurized water reactors (PWR). Seven organizations participate in this study. At first, the procedures for obtaining reliable PFM solutions with low failure probabilities are examined by solving a unique problem with seven computer programs. The seven solutions agree very well with one another, i.e., by a factor of 2 to 5 in failure probabilities. Next, sensitivity analyses are performed by varying fracture toughness values, loading conditions, and pre and in-service inspections. Finally, life extension simulations based on the PFM analyses are performed. It is clearly demonstrated from these analyses that failure probabilities are so sensitive to the change of fracture toughness values that the degree of neutron irradiation significantly influences the judgment of plant life extension.

Full textAbstract:
To realize sustainable construction, planning for future maintenance costs is essential. In the case of multi-family housing, various maintenance issues can be expected to appear starting 10 years after completion. Therefore, preventive maintenance must be implemented in a systematic manner to cope with the problems caused by the natural aging of multi-family dwellings and to maintain a sustainable level of quality for the properties. In this study, maintenance costs were investigated for 224 multi-family housing units aged 20 years or older in Seoul, South Korea. Using Monte Carlo simulation in conjunction with expert interviews, a probabilistic maintenance cost analysis was conducted to analyze and estimate the variability in maintenance costs. The findings of the study propose that the use of probabilistic maintenance cost analysis can be developed into a useful planning tool for determining reasonable future maintenance costs in sustainable construction.

Abstract Introduction: Poland is a country which is characterized by the process of population aging resulting in a dynamic growth of the old-age dependency ratio. Thus, along with the aging process, we can expect, both at the individual and at the societal level, the intensification of the problems related to coping with worsening health and social dependency of the growing number of the elderly. One of the most necessary action contributing to the prevention of the above-mentioned threats is the development of health literacy. Study aim: The aim of the study is to describe and analyze, in the context of the process of aging, the status, the structure and the role of health literacy among the elderly in Poland. Material and methods: The analyzed data come from the Polish part of the European Health Literacy population- based, cross-sectional survey (HLS-EU). Field work was carried out by the TNS OBOP Research Institute in July 2011. Data were collected in Polish by a standardized questionnaire, using a Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI). Results and conclusions: Almost every second person in the Polish adult population aged 15+ (44,6%) had low health literacy(inadequate + problematic). First of all the oldest people aged 65+ were at risk of low health literacy. 61,3% of Poles aged 65+ had low levels of general health literacy and only 12% of excellent, in contrast to people aged 50 years and below where these percentages were 39.9% and 21.5% respectively. In the context of this unsatisfactory level of health literacy, particularly in the elderly and the intensifying process of aging in the Polish population, health literacy development should occupy a very high position on the political agenda.

Currently, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for implementing regenerative medicine in aging become interest in medical research science, especially in degerative disease and other aging problems. This research was aimed to determine the effectiveness of hUC-MSCs on inhibiting the aging process through the lifetime of the rat and the effect of intravenous administration of hUC-MSCs in phisiologycally aging female rat on the blood analysis. This study was used 40 aged female rats with 29-30 months of age divided into four groups with 10 rats each. The control rat group was given physiological NaCl (0.9%) 0.5 mL, and the treated rat group was given hUC-MSCs 1x107 cells/kg body weight in 0.5 mL NaCl 0.9%, was injected intravenously in caudo lateralis tail vein with stratified frequency; one time injection (SC1), three times injections (SC3) and five times injections (SC5). Perifer blood was collected from retro-ortbital sinus vein 30 days before and after injection of hUC-MSCs for hematology and blood chemistry analysis. Based on the results were obtained, it indicated that hUC-MSCs increased the survival of aging rat were in treatment group, life span of rats was extended up to 40 months compared to the average life of control rat aged up to 34±2 months. The injection of hUC-MSCs 1x107 cells/kg of body weight with one, three and five times injection were affected to blood profiles and blood chemistry with correlation were low. The conclusions are hUC-MSCs extend the lifespan of aging rat and were affect the blood in general but in normal range of aging rat, affect in ALT and creatinin as tissue repair and tolerated by aging rat.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract:Starting with a particular case of familial care for the aging, the discussion points to the difficulties in deriving practical judgments from ideal theory in cases where there seems to be injustice, but where there are multiple competing dimensions of value and cost. The essay argues that the problems discussed are deeply embedded in modern western cultures, where life expectancy has risen dramatically and has been coupled with a range of other social and demographic changes that make familial care for the aged difficult and burdensome, and where our thinking about justice and rights are integral to the conflicted ways in which people construct and experience these situations, rather than standing independently as a solution to them. The essay argues for a set of partial, limited, and “realist” responses that reduce some elements of burden, without pretending to provide a solution that is in any sense ideal or wholly just. The argument from a case is integral to the essay’s case for realism in moral and political philosophy.

The aim of this cross sectional study was to investigate whether holding a private health plan affects the consumption of medical services (hospitalization and visits to a doctor) and use of medications by older adults. All residents in Bambuí town (Minas Gerais, Brazil) aged > or = 60 years (n = 1,742) were selected. From these, 92.2% were interviewed and 85.9% were examined (blood tests and physical measurements). After adjustments for counfounders, those under exclusive public coverage (n = 1,296), compared with those holding a private health plan (n = 310), presented some evidence of having worse health status, reported less visits to a doctor, and used a small number of prescribed medications. The main explanation for the aged holding a private health plan was economic, not health. Even though those who had only public health coverage complained more in relation to medical care (70.9%), an important proportion of the aged with a private health care plan presented some kind of complaint (45.2%). Another worrying factor was the difficulty to acquire medication because of financial problems (47.2 and 25.2% reported, respectively). Further investigations are needed to verify whether our results can be generalized to other communities of the country.

Although individuals aged 65 and over accounted for 12% of the total population of Japan in 1990, suicides in this age group consisted of 29% of all suicides. The elderly population of Japan is expected to grow rapidly to 24% of the total population by the year 2020, and suicide prevention for the elderly is an urgent mental health problem. Among a total of 1,216 elderly patients who were admitted to the Department of Psychiatry at Tokyo Metropolitan Geriatric Hospital between April 1980 and March 1990, 50 were hospitalized immediately after suicide attempts in order to study their psychosociomedical problems. Because early diagnosis of depression and initiation of proper treatment are indispensable—even if patients do not show obvious depressive symptoms—those who develop persistent somatization and/or delirium should be considered highly suicidal and given special attention. With the cooperation of mental health professionals, it is necessary to educate general practitioners, the public, and the elderly themselves about characteristics of psychiatric disorders and various problems associated with aging. Further research on other elderly Japanese populations, as well as research that examines suicide completion, is needed to confirm the findings of the present study.

Full textAbstract:
Long term aging of martensitic Fe-12Cr steels at elevated temperatures can result in a significant decrease in toughness. The mechanism responsible for this has been generally attributed to either impurity segregation and/or precipitation of second phases. The aging embrittlement of higher Cr-containing ferritic steels has long been attributed to the precipitation of bcc Cr-rich alpha prime phase[l]. Alpha prime has also been shown to embrittle certain Ni base alloys [2]. The current work has shown that alpha prime forms in Fe-12Cr steels which have been aged at 450°C for up to 32khrs. Coincident with the precipitation of alpha prime is a marked decrease in toughness.Historically, extraction replicas and to a limited extent thin-foil TEM microscopy have been used to identify alpha prime. However, both are not without problems in these magnetic, corrosion-resistant steels, due to the fact that the alpha prime is small (<20nm) and coherent with the matrix. Volume fraction studies have been essentially impossible.

A person-oriented approach was used in a study of age identification among community-dwelling older people. The study was based on 8-year follow-up data; 843 persons aged 65–84 were involved in the first phase of the study, and 426 persons aged 73–92, in the second phase. Loosely, on the basis of the distinction between successful, usual, and pathological aging (Rowe & Kahn, 1987, 1997), participants were grouped according to their self-ratings of cognitive and physical functioning as “Positive,” “Negative,” and “Others.” Participants possessing at least 4 out of the 5 criteria used as indicators of successful aging in the study (no illness or injury presenting problems in daily life, no health problems imposing limitations on hobbies, self-rated cognitive functioning better than satisfactory, age-comparative functional capacity as good, and no signs of depression) were assigned to the “Positive” group. The results showed these individuals typically to have a more youthful age identity, indicated by a lower feel age and thus a lower subjective age-perception score, lower mental, physical, and look ages, and a less frequently reported sense of age weighing on them. Moreover, this group reported a higher ideal age and had a chronological age satisfaction score closer to 0, suggesting higher satisfaction with chronological age. Also a tendency to set the onset of old age later and a willingness to live to 100 years of age were features that were more characteristic of the “Positive” than the other groups. The findings, supported by multivariate analyses, were in line with those of previous variable-oriented studies on age identification, suggesting that an association exists between perceptions of personal aging and physical and psychological well-being.

Sleep plays a crucial role in the psychological, and biological health of a person. Sleep failure not only occurs in physiological and psychiatric problems, but it also has the adverse effects of sleep deprivation on the cardiovascular system. Decreased levels of sleep are correlated with lifestyle factors for heart disease, such as hypertension, overweight, sugar levels. The aging population in Pakistan is increasing exponentially, causing rising problems in well-being care. Sleeping illness is one of the many complex disorders involving aging and cardiovascular disease. The present study analyzed 51 patients aged 55 and 88 years old with a CVD indication. Respondents were classified in impaired sleep (N=20) and non-impaired sleep (N=31) classes, further correlated with a measure of inflammatory disease performance in neuropsychological studies on fatigue.

Method The performance of middle-aged adults on laboratory-based speech understanding tasks was compared to that of younger and older adults. Results Decline in the ability to understand speech in complex listening environments can be demonstrated in midlife. The specific auditory and cognitive contributors to these problems have yet to be established. Conclusion There is evidence that the ability to understand a target speech message in the presence of competing speech messages changes relatively early in the aging process. The nature and impact of these changes warrant further investigation.

Background: In Bangladesh person aged 60 years or above are considered to elderly. 5.9% of total population are within the age group of 55-65years and 65 years old or above are 5% of the total population. Elderly dependency ratio is 7.3%. Depression is a common problem among the older people, but it is not a normal part of aging. The aim of this study was to find out the level of depression, factors associated with depression and health problems among the respondents .Material and Methods: This descriptive cross sectional study was carried among 829 people aged more than 60 years by purposive sampling technique from 7th to 9th December, 2014 in different vilages of Dhamrai Upazila,Dhaka. Data were collected on a pretested questionnaire by face to face interview using short form of GDS. Data were analyzed manually and by using computer.Results: Then study revealed that majority of the respondents (82%) were Muslims by religion. About 39% respondents were aged more than 70 years and mean age was 68±3.7 years. Most of them (52%) were illiterate and only 5% had received HSC or higher education. About 15% respondents' occupation were service and 47% of the respondents were housewives. Among all the respondents about 22% & 26% were found to have 2& 3 number of children respectively. About 27% & 18% respondents were suffering from mild & moderate depression respectively.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to increase our understanding of declining network size with aging by differentiating between processes of loss and gain and studying the associations with various health problems. Methods: Six observations of the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam (LASA) across a time period of 16 years are used to study detailed network changes in a large sample of Dutch older adults aged 55 to 85 at baseline. Results: Results from multilevel regression analyses show that network size declines with aging, in particular for the oldest old. The decline in network size is to a large degree due to a lack of replacement of lost relationships with new relationships. Results show differential effects of health. Discussion: The older old and people in poor health have limited possibilities to compensate for network losses and may have a serious risk of declining network size in later life.
