The smallest constituents of muscles, myosin and actin, may be targeted to contribute to more effective treatment methods against heart and muscle diseases, say a group of international researchers at 缅北强奸 and Linnaeus University.
A research study from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging, where Dr. Christina Wolfson, a Professor in the Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health is a co-PI was featured by Big News Network.
How does a pandemic affect the physical and psychological health of adults as they age? Does COVID-19 have an impact on the delivery of regular health-care services? Does a COVID-19 infection lead to long-term health problems affecting the lungs or brain?
A team of Montreal researchers has devised a new set of criteria to better diagnose a disease that affects the elderly, sarcopenia, which causes loss of muscle mass.
The improved criteria raise hopes that physicians will be able to detect the disease in people earlier, and therefore, to recommend certain types of exercise and nutrition to stem the loss of muscle mass, say scientists at the Research Institute of the 缅北强奸 Health Centre.
What is the secret to longevity? Kyle Elliott (NRS) and Anne Mouillier (MSE) share clues to the aging process in the black-winged kittiwake in the debut of Aging in the Wild on this week's Nature of Things.
It's not every day that one receives a call from a researcher asking if they want to participate in a study on aging for the next 20 years of their lives. That's what 50,000 Canadians aged 45 to 85 have agreed to do in taking part of the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA), one of the largest and most comprehensive studies on the health and well-being of the country鈥檚 aging population.
Emma Morano passed away last April. At 117 years old, the Italian woman was the oldest known living human being.
Super- centenarians, such as Morano and Jeanne Calment of France, who famously lived to be 122 years old, continue to fascinate scientists and have led them to wonder just how long humans can live. A study published in Nature last October concluded that the upper limit of human age is peaking at around 115 years.
The popular dietary supplement ubiquinone, also known as Coenzyme Q10, is widely believed to function as an antioxidant, protecting cells against damage from free radicals. But a new study by scientists at 缅北强奸 finds that ubiquinone is not a crucial antioxidant -- and that consuming it is unlikely to provide any benefit.
What is the secret to aging more slowly and living longer? Not antioxidants, apparently.
Study compares data from hundreds of people in childhood and old age
A new study shows compelling evidence that associations between cognitive ability and cortical grey matter in old age can largely be accounted for by cognitive ability in childhood.听 The joint study by the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital, The Neuro, 缅北强奸 and the University of Edinburgh, UK was published today, June 4 in Molecular Psychiatry.
