Aging

1.1K
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...

Alzheimer Disease l: Introduction

29
Alzheimer disease is a chronic, progressive, and irreversible neurodegenerative disorder and the most common cause of dementia in older adults. It leads to gradual neuronal loss, causing cognitive decline, behavioral changes, and loss of functional independence.Risk Factors and EtiologyThe disease is multifactorial. Age is the strongest risk factor, with prevalence doubling every 5 years after age 65. Genetic factors include mutations in genes such as APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2, which are associated...

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Medical Social Work
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Older adults are vulnerable to abuse, often exacerbated by social isolation.
    • Physician encounters represent critical junctures for identifying and addressing elder abuse.
    • Effective intervention requires a comprehensive understanding of abuse manifestations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the diverse clinical presentations of elder abuse.
    • To examine the essential role of multidisciplinary teams in elder abuse assessment.
    • To outline strategies for managing elder abuse cases.
