Resumen
Las vulnerabilidades de género en la vida posterior se derivan de desventajas de por vida. El aislamiento social afecta únicamente a las mujeres.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Gerontología Gerontología.
- La psiquiatría social es la psiquiatría social.
- Salud Pública La salud pública.
Sus antecedentes:
- Las disparidades de salud en la tercera edad están influenciadas por la desventaja acumulada en el curso de la vida.
- El aislamiento social presenta trayectorias distintas de salud mental para hombres y mujeres mayores.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Examinar las vulnerabilidades específicas de género en la salud mental de la tercera edad.
- Explorar el impacto del aislamiento social en el bienestar de los adultos mayores.
Principales métodos:

02:55Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination
77.8K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

01:15Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients
400
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...

01:22Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption
868
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...

01:00Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Distribution
387
Drug distribution in the human body is influenced by several factors, including plasma protein concentration, body composition, blood flow, tissue-protein concentration, and tissue fluid pH. Among these, changes in plasma protein concentration and body composition due to aging significantly affect how drugs are distributed within the body. Specifically, aging is associated with a decrease in albumin levels by about 10% and an increase in α1-acid glycoprotein levels. These alterations are...

01:18Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Metabolism
405
Geriatric patients show significant variation in how their bodies process medications, which can change how effective and safe treatments are. The liver is the primary organ where drug metabolism occurs, involving two main types of chemical reactions: phase I and II. Phase I metabolism is driven by the cytochrome P450 enzyme system, which includes key types such as CYP3A, CYP2D6, and CYP2C9. Research indicates that while aging doesn't notably alter the levels or activity of these enzymes, it...

01:27Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age
376
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...
