Male smokers (44%) had started smoking earlier (age 18) than female (14%, age 30), consumed more tobacco and more often inhaled tobacco smoke. Peptic ulcer, chronic bronchitis and lung cancer were examples of diseases more common in males. ECG evidences of myocardial ischemia were more common in males, while anginal pain showed the same prevalence. Cholecystectomy and antihypertensive treatment were more common among females. When adjustments were made for duration of smoking, amount of tobacco consumed, significant sex differences were still observed for ECG evidence of myocardial ischemia (dominance in males), peptic ulcer (dominance in males), intermittent claudication (dominance in females) and treatment for hypertension (dominance in females). The majority of disorders predominant in males were found to be related to smoking, while those predominating among females showed the same sex difference when adjustments were made for smoking habits. Future increasing segments of females addicted to tobacco smoking will obviously markedly influence sex difference in morbidity.</p>","PeriodicalId":77698,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive gerontology.

It was found that lupus antigens strongly decrease after birth. Parallel with this change, the activities of the enzymes DNA polymerase alpha and terminal nucleotidyl transferase in the thymus glands drop during maturation and ageing. These biochemical analyses were supported by immunofluorescence studies using human thymus glands. Moreover, it is documented that a redistribution of Sm and Ro occurs during development. Focusing on Sm, fetal thymus glands contain this antigen predominantly in the cytoplasm, while in immature, mature or old animals Sm is found almost exclusively in the nucleus. From these data we conclude that the amounts of the lupus antigens are additional parameters for the age-correlated function of thymocytes.</p>","PeriodicalId":77698,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive gerontology.

Also, the activity of bone alkaline and acid phosphatase was measured as well as the hydroxyproline content of the tissue. Femurs of old mice 28 months old, compared to those of young mice 7 months old, showed significant decreases in cortical thickness, number of bone cells, bone mineral content, and enzyme activity.

A 1-day dietary record was made once a week during the whole study. During the pre-experimental period the average daily intake of energy was 5.8 MJ/1379 kcal and the intake of vitamin D only 2.8 micrograms. During the experimental period the intake of energy and protein increased by 25% (p less than 0.001). No significant changes in body weight occurred which might reflect an increased physical activity. Among the blood chemistry variables blood folate, serum creatinine and retinol showed a significant increase during the experimental period. The changes in retinol might reflect a substitution of a marginal vitamin A deficiency. During the postexperimental period the decrease of serum creatinine was correlated to a decreased protein intake. The intake of energy, protein, vitamin D and thiamine decreased during the last period.</p>","PeriodicalId":77698,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive gerontology.

The linkage of health status changes and disability. 健康状况变化与残疾之间的联系。
K G Manton
{"title":"The linkage of health status changes and disability.","authors":"K G Manton","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Forecasting health and functional status changes in elderly populations is a difficult task because forecasting must describe the linkage of chronic morbidity, and its progression, with different levels and types of disability. In this paper we present a model which links morbidity and disability and, with the use of multiple survey and epidemiological data sources, provide estimates of the long-term reduction in chronic disability that would result from changing the prevalence of specific chronic diseases by the control of major risk factors. The results show that many of the diseases which are currently the principal target of primary prevention have more impact upon mortality, and overall life expectancy, than they do on the age at onset of chronic disability. Thus, in order to increase the average number of years that elderly persons can expect to live with less disability, or less severe forms of disability, new prevention strategies and techniques may have to be developed.</p>","PeriodicalId":77698,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive gerontology.
