Many children born after the year 2000 in countries with the longest lived residents may live to see their 100th birthday. The combination of reduced mortality along with reduced fertility in developed countries is producing 'population aging', and the comorbidities associated with aging are becoming important public health issues. Age-associated obesity is one such important public health issue. Aging is associated with significant changes in body composition, including loss of skeletal muscle mass and increased visceral fat accumulation. The loss of muscle mass is accompanied by a disproportionate decline in muscle strength (up to three-times greater than the loss of mass), indicative of reduced muscle 'quality' or muscle dysfunctionality. Aging is characterized by markedly reduced physical activity and a drop in resting metabolic rate that is disproportionate to the loss of muscle mass, with a shift towards preferentially oxidizing carbohydrate at the expense of fat. A combination of these factors may act to increase muscular lipid infiltration and decrease insulin sensitivity; however, the cause and effect relationship remains undetermined. Changes in cellular energy (i.e., ATP) requirement owing to decreased ion channel activity, decreased protein synthesis or increased mitochondrial energy efficiency may underlie the decreased resting metabolic rate. Increasing energy demand through physical activity may alleviate some of the adverse metabolic changes that are associated with aging.</p>","PeriodicalId":88353,"journal":{"name":"Aging health","volume":"6 2","pages":"159-167"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2885712/pdf/nihms206881.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"29067705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over time, disruption of the visual processing circuits of the brain that link the occipital and prefrontal regions, particularly in the right hemisphere, leads to increasing degrees of driving impairment that ultimately preclude safe driving. Neuropsychological tests of visuospatial ability, executive function and attention that tap into the integrity of these brain regions provide the clinician with important information regarding the need for a formal determination of driving competence. Enhancement of cognitive function in these domains through anti-dementia therapy and exercise may partially mitigate risk; however, all drivers with dementia must ultimately retire from driving when dementia becomes moderately severe, and often in earlier stages of the illness.
