Disease relevance of Aged, 80 and over

 

Psychiatry related information on Aged, 80 and over

  • Senile dementia with tangles is suggested to be a variant of Alzheimer disease occurring in the oldest-old, but its nosological position within aging disorders of the brain is still controversy [6].
  • In agreement with previous studies in very old cohorts, they also suggest that amyloid deposition is not related to the early stages of the dementia process in the oldest old [7].
  • Alzheimer disease shortened survival time most dramatically in younger participants, but vascular dementia posed a greater mortality risk among the oldest old [8].
  • Rates of cognitive impairment in a representative population of the oldest old (aged 84 to 90) were examined using two indicators: The Global Deterioration Scale (GDS), and a Cognitive Rating (CR) derived from performance on five neuropsychological tests [9].
  • The study was designed to assess the antioxidant defense mechanisms, either enzymatic or non-enzymatic, in a group of sixteen centenarians (one male and fifteen female subjects aged 101 to 105 years) living in the Upper Silesia district (Poland) in order to evaluate the potential role of antioxidant defenses in human longevity [10].
 

High impact information on Aged, 80 and over

  • We find that the epsilon 4 allele of APOE, which promotes premature atherosclerosis, is significantly less frequent in centenarians than in controls (p < 0.001), while the frequency of the epsilon 2 allele, associated previously with type III and IV hyperlipidemia, is significantly increased (p < 0.01) [11].
  • The centenarian Golgi apparatus [12].
  • Total cholesterol and risk of mortality in the oldest old [13].
  • We have therefore investigated the MTP "risk" haplotype in our own collection of 1,589 German nonagenarians, centenarians, and appropriately matched controls [14].
  • p53 variants predisposing to cancer are present in healthy centenarians [15].

Associations of Aged, 80 and over with chemical compounds

  • Accordingly, we measured Lp(a) levels as well as total, LDL, and HDL cholesterol (CT), and triglycerides (TG) in sera from 75 healthy centenarians, 114 randomly selected subjects under 65 years, 73 randomly selected elderly people, and 30 healthy selected elderly people [30].
  • The circadian profile of serum cortisol was clearly flattened in old subjects, due to the selective increase in the cortisol nocturnal levels, particularly evident in demented subjects; on the other hand, the morning serum cortisol levels were not significantly different among centenarians, young and old controls [16].
  • Percutaneous coronary intervention in octogenarians and the safety of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors [31].
  • Centenarians had also a whole body glucose disposal (WBGD) greater than that in aged subjects, but similar to that in adults [32].
  • The relationship of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) to endocrine-metabolic parameters and functional status in the oldest-old. Results from an Italian study on healthy free-living over-ninety-year-olds [33].
 

Gene context of Aged, 80 and over

  • Genetic analysis of Paraoxonase (PON1) locus reveals an increased frequency of Arg192 allele in centenarians [34].
  • In this study we examined 230 Japanese centenarians and 180 healthy younger controls and looked at the SHC1 locus as a candidate region that may be associated with longevity [35].
  • Although heterozygous CETP deficiency and the B2 allele of the Taq1B polymorphism was consistently associated with higher HDL-C concentrations both in centenarians and controls, the allelic frequencies of those polymorphisms did not differ between the two groups [36].
  • Apolipoprotein E (APOE) polymorphism influences serum APOE levels in Alzheimer's disease patients and centenarians [37].
  • CONCLUSION: Low-grade activation of the TNF system could limit the increase in muscle strength after resistance training in the oldest old [38].
