Based on nationally representative data, this 20-year longitudinal study firstly confirmed the dynamically reversible property of frailty [2]. Specifically, 10.27% of pre-frail older adults and only 1.68% of frail older adults improved to robust status, while 27.27% of the former and 58.24% of ...
When questioned about whether he felt he had a good life in care homes, a 95-year-old male Danish care resident responded with: “and I didn't have anywhere to go……But it's not the home here… the home here” which is another example demonstrating how the older resident disliked liv...
The U.S. elderly experience shorter lifespans and greater variability in age at death than their Canadian peers. In order to gain insight on the underlying factors responsible for the Canada-U.S. old-age mortality disparities, we propose a cause-of-death analysis. Accordingly, the objective of...
This dataset contains observations on five groups of male fruitflies –– 25 fruitflies in each group –– from an experiment designed to test if increased reproduction reduces longevity for male fruitflies. (Such a cost has already been established for females.) The five groups are: males forc...
Discerning the relationship between sociality and longevity would permit a deeper understanding of how animal life history evolved. Here, we perform a phylogenetic comparative analysis of ~1000 mammalian species on three states of social organization (so
The osteoporosis prevalence in our sample of 65–75-year-old adults is comparable to the estimated prevalence for women and men aged 60–69 years (women: 10.6%, men: 1.7%) by Wade et al. [51]. However, their estimated numbers for 70–79-year-old are considerably higher (women: 23.0%...
Aging is the gradual accumulation of changes over time that increases the probability of death; aging is a multifactorial and complex process and an almost universal phenomenon in life [1]. Importantly, the rate of aging and lifespan regulation are amenable and depend on genetic and non-genetic...
25 provide the building blocks for a more comprehensive and generalizable approach to age-normed quantification of MRI phenotypes over the entire lifespan (see Supplementary Information 1 for details and consideration of previous work focused on the related but distinct objective of inferring brain age...
(85 years vs. 73 for the general population control and 79 for a cohort labeled with diagnostic tag M17 – arthritis of the knee. Average lifespan of cohort carrying diagnostic tag M15, which represents poly-osteoarthritis, a disease generally associated with diminished mobility, was longest, at...
