Summary

Aging significantly impacts blood platelet function, increasing circulating aggregates and beta-thromboglobulin. This study reveals age-related changes in the primary hemostatic system in healthy donors.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Hematology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Aging is associated with changes in various biochemical and hematological parameters.
  • Platelet function is crucial for hemostasis and may be affected by age.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate age-related changes in biochemical and hematological parameters.
  • To specifically examine the impact of aging on primary hemostatic system function and blood platelet activity.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 230 healthy donors aged 20-90 years.
  • Assessment of basic biochemical and hematological parameters.
  • Evaluation of parameters characterizing blood platelet function, including circulating aggregates, beta-thromboglobulin, and F VIII R:Ag.

Main Results:

  • Confirmed known age-related changes in fibrinogen, AT III, glucose, cholesterol, and other markers.
  • Demonstrated a pronounced age dependence of the primary hemostatic system.
  • Observed significantly higher levels of circulating aggregates (up to 152% increase), beta-thromboglobulin, and F VIII R:Ag in individuals aged 65-75 and above 75 years.
  • Detected increased platelet reactivity through tests like heparin-neutralizing activity and aggregation response.

Conclusions:

  • The primary hemostatic system shows significant age-dependent alterations.
  • Increased platelet reactivity and specific markers are evident in older age groups.
  • These findings highlight the importance of considering age in hemostasis and platelet function studies.
