Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients01:15

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

344
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 Absorption

793
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...

The Effect of Aging on Tissues

4.1K
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...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

309
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...

Aging

961
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...

Cognitive Development During Adulthood01:30

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

1.1K
Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Sociology of Aging

Background:

  • Maintaining an active lifestyle is crucial for older adults.
  • Technology offers potential avenues to support active aging.
  • Understanding technology's impact on aging perception is vital.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the influence of technology on aging perception in older adults.
  • To explore the relationship between technology use and successful aging.
  • To develop a model explaining technology's role in perceived aging.

Main Methods:

  • Two studies were conducted: supraliminal priming with aging/technology stimuli and a technological intervention using interactive devices.
  • Age estimation and perceived aging were analyzed.
  • A sociotechnical model was developed based on intervention results.

Main Results:

  • Technology-related stimuli did not significantly alter age estimation in the priming study.
  • The technological intervention showed technology use affects perceived aging.
  • A sociotechnical model highlights the link between technology and successful aging.

Conclusions:

  • Technology can positively affect aging perception among older adults.
  • The impact of technology is moderated by an individual's proactive attitude towards aging.
  • Sociotechnical factors are key in understanding technology's role in successful aging.
