This demographic shift necessitates adjustments in global health systems to cater to the increasing demand for age-appropriate care. Gerontology, as an interdisciplinary field, encompasses the study of biological, social, and medical aspects of aging. Anti-aging, a distinct discipline, focuses on understanding and combatting age-related ailments. This review provides insights into the distinctive aspects of anti-aging research, highlights current priority issues in health promotion and anti-aging measures, and explores implications of crises on aging research and healthcare. Furthermore, it emphasizes the need for collaboration among interdisciplinary research networks, integration of science and technology, and the involvement of key stakeholders to ensure universal health coverage. Future research should address the multidimensional aspects of healthy aging, reflect research priorities and preferences of older individuals, and promote health equity. This collective effort will contribute to the development of innovative solutions and facilitate cross-learning among countries to enhance the well-being of aging populations globally.","PeriodicalId":437966,"journal":{"name":"Anti-Aging Eastern Europe","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123312666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mood disorders, sleep problems, fatigue, and temporomandibular disorders can accompany fibromyalgia. The hallmark of fibromyalgia is chronic generalized pain. Yet, numerous diseases can present with generalized pain in older adults. Careful anamnesis and a detailed physical examination are essential to rule out mimicking conditions. Treatment of fibromyalgia in elderly requires particular attention, as well. Older individuals are prone to experiencing adverse effects of certain drugs due to age-related alterations in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The aim of this article was to review fibromyalgia in older adults; including its features, differential diagnosis, and management.","PeriodicalId":437966,"journal":{"name":"Anti-Aging Eastern Europe","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132137853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the concept of healthy aging gains importance and attracts attention in the scientific community. This article presented a ten-year bibliometric analysis of articles on healthy aging in the Scopus database. \u0000Methods: The Scopus database was used for the bibliometric analysis. The publication list was created using the keywords «aging well» and «healthy aging.» The number of articles, active countries-journals, frequent keywords, prolific authors, and funding sources were defined. \u0000Results: An upward trend was observed in the number of articles related to healthy aging between 2013 and 2022. The five leading countries in publication activity were the United States, China, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Canada, respectively. The most prolific authors were Ferrucci, L., Franceschi, C., Evans, M.K., Bennett, D.A., and Deary, I.J. The five most active journals were Plos One, Scientific Reports, International Journal of Molecular Sciences, International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, and Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience. \u0000Conclusion: Bibliometric analysis is a valuable method for assessing global trends in producing scientific literature on particular topics. This study revealed an upward trend in articles on healthy aging over time, indicating an increasing interest and focus on this topic. As the elderly population grows, it is anticipated that interest in healthy aging will progressively increase. It will be advantageous for researchers interested in this field to establish collaborations with prominent authors and institutions. Thus, they will canalize their future investigation in the proper direction.","PeriodicalId":437966,"journal":{"name":"Anti-Aging Eastern Europe","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115699793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A woman experiencing body image dissatisfaction may face psychological problems such as mood disorder, decreased self-esteem, and decreased physical activity. With the reflection of the weak-ideal woman’s appearance by society and mass media, women may be exposed to these problems and can internalize this by comparing their bodies with the idealized women’s bodies. Women may experience major hormonal changes due to pregnancy and menopause that affect their physical appearance, roles, and responsibilities in society and family, and breast and gynecological cancers.

Although more studies on OA are needed, from the patient’s perspective, physical therapy is effective. Sarcopenia and decreased muscle strength of the joints affects the evolution of OA. Inactivity and reduced function developing with age and OA favor obesity and sarcopenia.

Patients with acute myocardial infarction should be treated with early revascularization. Patients over 73 years have a higher risk of infarct-related cardiogenic shock, which is a leading cause of lethality. Unfortunately, little is known about myocardial revascularization care for elderly people in Ukraine. We presented a 92-year-old lady with an acute chest pain case report, which was not revealed by analgesics. \u0000Important clinical findings. Coronary angiography revealed thrombotic occlusion of the distal segment of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and floated thrombus in LAD mid-segment; stenosis of the left circumflex artery (LCx) close to the first obtuse marginal artery (OM1). \u0000The main diagnosis. Acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation of the left ventricle anterior wall (anterior-STEMI). Calcific aortic valve disease, severe aortic valve stenosis, significant mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation, pulmonary hypertension. Heart failure with reduced LVEF (<40%), NYHA class III symptoms. \u0000Intervention. The decision was to perform urgent stenting in LAD and balloon angioplasty in LCx. Successful hospital discharge was after 14 days. \u0000Conclusions. Take-away lessons: Elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction can be successfully treated in Ukraine. Age and comorbidities are not a contraindication for early myocardial revascularization.","PeriodicalId":437966,"journal":{"name":"Anti-Aging Eastern Europe","volume":"328 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121676542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
