Applications of Life Tables01:22

Applications of Life Tables

109
Life tables are versatile across various fields, providing a quantitative basis for analyzing mortality and survival rates. Whether used by demographers, actuaries, epidemiologists, or sociologists, life tables offer valuable insights into the dynamics of life and death, facilitating informed decisions in public health, insurance, conservation, and beyond. Their broad applicability highlights the interconnectedness of demographic data with practical outcomes in everyday life and strategic...

Aging01:26

Aging

163
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...

Statistical Methods for Analyzing Epidemiological Data

505
Epidemiological data primarily involves information on specific populations' occurrence, distribution, and determinants of health and diseases. This data is crucial for understanding disease patterns and impacts, aiding public health decision-making and disease prevention strategies. The analysis of epidemiological data employs various statistical methods to interpret health-related data effectively. Here are some commonly used methods:

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Individual and Population Analysis

83
Mechanistic models are utilized in individual analysis using single-source data, but imperfections arise due to data collection errors, preventing perfect prediction of observed data. The mathematical equation involves known values (Xi), observed concentrations (Ci), measurement errors (εi), model parameters (ϕj), and the related function (ƒi) for i number of values. Different least-squares metrics quantify differences between predicted and observed values. The ordinary least...

The Effect of Aging on Tissues01:19

The Effect of Aging on Tissues

2.3K
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...

Longitudinal Research02:20

Longitudinal Research

12.2K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Sociology
  • Public Policy

Background:

  • The ageing population and society (APS) nexus presents significant global challenges.
  • Systematic analysis of scholarly literature on the APS nexus is lacking.
  • Understanding research trends is crucial for policy and future research direction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a scientometric analysis of the APS nexus literature.
  • To identify key research topics, influential works, and contributors.
  • To inform policy discussions and guide future research.

Main Methods:

  • Quantitative scientometric analysis of 566 articles from the Scopus database (2011-2020).
  • Identification of prominent articles, authors, publication outlets, institutions, and countries.
  • Analysis of research trends and topic distribution.

Main Results:

  • Key research areas include ageing population, gender, quality of life, and socio-economic aspects.
  • Under-researched topics include social exclusion of older adults, age diversity, social policy, and the eldercare workforce.
  • Identified leading contributors and publication trends in the APS field.

Conclusions:

  • The study highlights significant research gaps in critical areas of the APS nexus.
  • Findings suggest a need for increased focus on social exclusion, age diversity, and policy implications.
  • Recommendations are provided for future research directions and North-South research collaboration to address the evolving challenges of an ageing world.
