Abstract:
Age-related changes in mental health are an important concern in today's world.

Studies have shown contradictory results and need to be interpreted with caution. Users should be made aware of current knowledge on their potential risks and benefits, without demonizing these relatively new technologies. They should learn how to take advantage of the great potential of these modern devices (they can for example enhance curiosity, sense of purpose and creativity) without becoming enslaved by them.

Respiratory Capacities
One key metric is the Inspiratory Capacity (IC), which represents the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled with full effort. IC is calculated by summing the tidal volume and inspiratory reserve volume, typically ranging from 2.4 to 3.6 liters.
The Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) represents the air in the...
