Cognitive Development During Adulthood01:30

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

768
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,...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

183
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...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

219
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...

Aging

580
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...

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption

223
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...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Spatial Design
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Population aging and smart technology adoption necessitate integrating Gerontechnology with spatial design.
  • Existing research lacks a systematic framework for understanding the interdependencies between Gerontechnology and spatial design.
  • This study addresses the need for empirical evidence on key factors and causal structures in this integration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and validate a two-stage integrated framework for identifying and quantifying factors in Gerontechnology-spatial design integration.
  • To determine the key indicators and their causal relationships within this integrated system.
  • To provide decision support for policymakers and practitioners in smart spatial planning for healthy aging.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) to screen and select 15 key indicators.
  • Employed the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory-based Analytic Network Process (DANP) to quantify factor weights and interdependencies.
  • Applied the DEMATEL method to analyze the causal relationships among identified dimensions and elements.

Main Results:

  • Fault-tolerant spatial configuration (26.42%) and comfortable ambient temperature (7.18%) emerged as highly weighted factors within Age-Friendly Design and Living Space, respectively.
  • Expert consensus exceeded 95% across all dimensions, confirming the robustness of the findings.
  • Gerontechnology Application was identified as a primary driver within the causal network, highlighting its systemic integration role.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed FDM-DANP framework effectively identifies and quantifies critical factors for Gerontechnology integration in spatial design.
  • Fault-tolerant design and environmental comfort are paramount for creating age-friendly smart spaces.
