Piacenza F, Giacconi R, Costarelli L, Basso A, Bürkle A, Moreno-Villanueva M, Dollé MET, Jansen E, Grune T, Weber D, Stuetz W, Gonos ES, Schön C, Bernhardt J, Grubeck-Loebenstein B, Sikora E, Toussaint O, Debacq-Chainiaux F, Franceschi C, Capri M, Hervonen A, Hurme M, Slagboom E, Breusing N, Mocchegiani E, Malavolta M.

J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci. 2021 Nov 15;76(12):2097-2106. doi: 10.1093/gerona/glab134.

The analysis of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) along with their major serum carriers, albumin (Alb) and ceruloplasmin (Cp), could provide information on the capacity of humans to maintain homeostasis of metals (metallostasis). However, their relationship with aging, sex,...

Visual Impairment and Objectively Measured Physical Activity in Middle-Aged and Older Adults.

The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences

Cai Y, Schrack JA, Wang H, E JY, Wanigatunga AA, Agrawal Y, Urbanek JK, Simonsick EM, Ferrucci L, Swenor BK.

J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci. 2021 Nov 15;76(12):2194-2203. doi: 10.1093/gerona/glab103.

BACKGROUND: Vision loss is associated with increased risk of falls and restricted physical activity, yet the relationship between multiple vision measures and objectively measured physical activity, especially activity patterns, in mid-to-late life is not well understood.METHOD: This study included...

Age-Related Susceptibility to Muscle Damage Following Mechanotherapy in Rats Recovering From Disuse Atrophy.

The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences

Hettinger ZR, Hamagata K, Confides AL, Lawrence MM, Miller BF, Butterfield TA, Dupont-Versteegden EE.
PMID: 34181006
J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci. 2021 Nov 15;76(12):2132-2140. doi: 10.1093/gerona/glab186.

The inability to fully recover lost muscle mass following periods of disuse atrophy predisposes older adults to lost independence and poor quality of life. We have previously shown that mechanotherapy at a moderate load (4.5 N) enhances muscle mass...

Strategies to optimize aged care volunteer recruitment and retention: A systematic review.

Journal of gerontological social work

Woolford M, Joyce C, Polacsek M.
PMID: 33971797
J Gerontol Soc Work. 2021 May 11;1-18. doi: 10.1080/01634372.2021.1923605. Epub 2021 May 11.

Population aging and resource constraints in aged care indicate an ever increasing need for volunteers in this growing sector. Volunteers in aged care have different expectations and experiences, as they typically form longer and closer relationships with residents, and...

Individual factors including age, BMI and heritable factors underlie temperature variation in sickness and in health: an observational, multi-cohort study.

The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences

Penfold RS, Zazzara MB, Österdahl MF, Welch C, Ni Lochlainn M, Freidin MB, Bowyer RCE, Thompson E, Antonelli M, Tan YXR, Sudre CH, Modat M, Murray B, Wolf J, Ourselin S, Veenith T, Lord JM, Steves CJ.

J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci. 2021 Oct 05; doi: 10.1093/gerona/glab295. Epub 2021 Oct 05.

BACKGROUND: Ageing affects immunity, potentially altering fever response to infection. We assess effects of biological variables on basal temperature, and during COVID-19 infection, proposing an updated temperature threshold for older adults ≥65 years.METHODS: Participants were from four cohorts: 1089...

Prodigal Children: Why Older Mothers Favor Their Once-Deviant Adult Children.

Age-Related Increase in Lactate Dehydrogenase Activity in Skeletal Muscle Reduces Lifespan in Drosophila.

The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences

Hunt LC, Demontis F.
PMID: 34477202
J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci. 2021 Sep 03; doi: 10.1093/gerona/glab260. Epub 2021 Sep 03.

Metabolic adaptations occur with aging but the significance and causal roles of such changes are only partially known. In Drosophila, we find that skeletal muscle aging is paradoxically characterized by increased readouts of glycolysis (lactate, NADH/NAD+) but reduced expression...
