Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

157
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

183
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...

Human Genetics

1.3K
Human genetics provides a profound framework for understanding the interplay between genetic predispositions and human psychology. At the heart of this discipline lies the study of how genes influence physical traits, behaviors, and susceptibility to diseases. Each person carries a unique genetic code that subtly or significantly shapes their psychological and behavioral landscape.
The complex relationship between genetics and psychology is observable through common biological components such...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

187
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...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Psychology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Gambling participation is rising among older adults, a demographic highly susceptible to gambling-related problems due to age-specific risk factors.
  • Older individuals face unique vulnerabilities including isolation, inactivity, and declining health, increasing their risk for developing gambling disorders.
  • Understanding the heterogeneity of gambling behaviors and risks in the elderly population is crucial for effective public health interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore empirical clusters of gambling habits within a general population sample of older adults.
  • To identify distinct profiles of elderly individuals based on their gambling behaviors, sociodemographic features, and psychological states.
  • To inform the development of targeted screening tools and interventions for gambling problems in older adults.

Main Methods:

  • A two-step cluster analysis was performed on a sample of 361 participants aged 50-90 years.
  • Data included sociodemographic information, psychopathological state, substance use, life events, gambling preferences, and gambling severity scores.
  • The study assessed the prevalence of gambling disorder (GD) and identified distinct clusters based on these indicators.

Main Results:

  • The prevalence of gambling disorder (GD) in the study sample was 1.4%.
  • Two clusters emerged: 'low risk' (73.4%) characterized by non-strategic gambling, women, and lower education; and 'higher risk' (26.6%) with men, strategic gambling, older age, substance use, and poorer mental health.
  • All participants diagnosed with GD were in the 'higher risk' cluster, which also included individuals with higher gambling severity and longer gambling history.

Conclusions:

  • Older adults exhibit heterogeneous gambling phenotypes, necessitating tailored approaches.
  • The identified clusters provide a basis for developing more reliable screening tools to detect high-risk older individuals.
  • Findings support the design of effective prevention and intervention programs specifically addressing the needs of elderly individuals with gambling problems.
