The Effect of Aging on Tissues

2.6K
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...

Aging

203
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...

Mitochondria

15.2K
Mitochondria are eukaryotic cellular organelles that are known to produce energy through a process called oxidative phosphorylation. Besides their primary function, mitochondria are involved in various cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation, signaling, metabolism, and senescence. Age-related changes cause a decline in mitochondrial quality and integrity due to increased mitochondrial mutations and oxidative damage. Thus, aging can severely impact mitochondrial functions,...

Area of Science:

  • Ergonomics and Aging Research
  • Human Factors and Aging
  • Gerontology and Design

Background:

  • Limited information exists on trends specifically within aging-focused ergonomics studies.
  • Ergonomics research is prevalent, but the aging subfield requires focused trend analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze trends in ergonomics and aging research using bibliometric methods.
  • To provide an overview of the field's development and key research themes.

Main Methods:

  • Bibliometric analysis of publications on ergonomics and aging.
  • Data sourced from the Web of Science (WOS) database.
  • Analysis performed using Bibliometrix (R package) and Vosviewer for visualization.

Main Results:

  • Analysis of 405 papers (1979-2020) identified key themes.
  • Prominent themes include digital human modeling, design for all, workplace ergonomics, and assistive technologies for older adults.
  • Specific areas like transport, kitchen design, and vision in old age were also highlighted.

Conclusions:

  • Ergonomics and aging research has shifted from foundational design to advanced, technology-focused applications.
