The Effect of Aging on Tissues01:19

The Effect of Aging on Tissues

Several body functions deteriorate with age. The external signs of aging are easily identifiable. For example, the skin becomes dry, less elastic, and thins out, forming wrinkles. The skin of the face begins to appear looser due to a decrease in the levels of elastic and collagen fibers in the connective tissue. Additionally, melanin production in the hair follicle decreases with age, resulting in gray hair. Moreover, the senses of sight and hearing decline, so glasses and hearing aids may...
Aging01:26

Aging

Aging is a complex biological phenomenon influenced by various processes that affect cellular and systemic functions. Several prominent theories attempt to explain its mechanisms, highlighting cellular limitations, oxidative damage, and hormonal changes as central factors in aging.
Cellular Clock Theory
The cellular clock theory posits that the human lifespan is closely tied to the finite capacity of cells to divide, a phenomenon governed by telomeres, which are protective caps at the ends of...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption

As individuals age, their body's physiology evolves, affecting drug pharmacokinetics. The most apparent changes occur in the gastrointestinal tract, where an increase in gastric pH, a delay in gastric emptying, and a reduction in gastrointestinal motility are observed. Remarkably, these changes do not substantially modify the absorption of orally administered drugs, particularly those absorbed via passive diffusion.Transdermal drug delivery emerges as a highly viable method for older adults due...
Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients01:15

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...
Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Metabolism01:18

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Metabolism

Geriatric patients show significant variation in how their bodies process medications, which can change how effective and safe treatments are. The liver is the primary organ where drug metabolism occurs, involving two main types of chemical reactions: phase I and II. Phase I metabolism is driven by the cytochrome P450 enzyme system, which includes key types such as CYP3A, CYP2D6, and CYP2C9. Research indicates that while aging doesn't notably alter the levels or activity of these enzymes, it...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Gerontology
  • Asian Skin Aging

Background:

  • Skin aging is a significant biological indicator.
  • Limited research exists on intrinsic and extrinsic aging in Asian populations.
  • Understanding aging patterns in the elderly is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate clinical patterns of aging skin changes.
  • To identify common dermatoses in elderly Asian individuals.
  • To differentiate chronological aging from photoaging in this group.

Main Methods:

  • Descriptive study of 500 elderly individuals.
  • Participants attended a Dermatology out-patient department.
  • Photoaging severity assessed using the Glogau scale.

Main Results:

  • Most participants had skin types IV and V.
  • 83% showed chronological aging without photoaging; 17% had both.
  • Common chronological changes: thin skin, wrinkles, xerosis. Photoaging changes were less frequent.
  • Smoking and sun exposure aggravated photoaging.
  • Pruritus (49.6%) and seborrheic keratosis (50.6%) were most common.
  • Contact dermatitis more in males, fungal infections more in females.

Conclusions:

  • Photoaging is less common than chronological aging in Asian skin type IV.
  • Chronological aging is more frequent in females, while photoaging is more common in males.
  • Findings provide insights into skin aging and dermatoses in the elderly Asian population.
