Study shows obesity is the biggest chronic factor behind NYC coronavirus hospitalizations
One of the scariest things about the novel coronavirus is just how unpredictable the way it affects different people can be. When it comes to people being hospitalized for COVID-19, however, there’s one chronic health condition that is behind the bulk of the hospitalizations in New York City and it has nothing to do with […]

Researchers look at the benefits of probiotic supplementation in elderly
Immune function declines with age, and this decline is said to be largely influenced by the composition of a person’s gut microbiota. The gut microbiota protects the digestive system from external pathogens by modulating immune responses. However, aging reduces the diversity of the gut microbiota, and this leads to unfavorable conditions, such as frailty, increased susceptibility to […]

Researchers discover a protein in the blood of young mice that improves cognition and lifespan in older mice
The quest for finding ways to delay aging has led scientists from the Washington University School of Medicine to a protein extracted from the blood of young mice. When injected into older mice, the protein, known as eNAMPT, could delay aging and inhibit age-related diseases in the senior rodents. The researchers found that eNAMPT extended the lifespan of the older […]

Technology and road safety: Brain-training game helps improve the driving skills of older people
Older adults looking to improve their driving skills may need to sit down and play a brain-training video game before hitting the road, according to a new study. Carried out by Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan and led by Rui Nouchi, associate professor in the Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer, the research found that seniors who played […]

Surgery patients are “getting older at a faster rate” – advancing age linked to higher risk of complications
A surgery can save a person’s life from an immediate threat, but it can carry long-term consequences on his health. A recent study in the British Journal of Surgery revealed that people who have gone under the knife have aged faster than those who didn’t undergo surgery. As a person grows older, his health generally declines. In […]

For the elderly, sense of smell could be a key indicator for overall health
Your ability to detect odors may indicate the state of your health as you age. A study conducted on men and women between the ages of 71 and 82 found that those who had difficulty recognizing common odors were about 50 percent more likely to die within the next 10 years than those who retained their sensitive noses. […]

Noninvasive form of brain stimulation improves memory among older people, study finds
As you age, you may begin to forget some things or misplace things occasionally. This is a normal part of the aging process. However, age-related memory loss can possibly be reversed using a noninvasive form of brain stimulation. A study published in the journal Neurology found that transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can restore the memory […]

Cohort study: Listening to music can reduce risk of falls among the elderly
Researchers at McGill University and the University of Montreal in Canada looked at the influence of music listening on the risk of falls in older people. The team published their findings in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine. For the study, the researchers looked at 152 participants who were admitted to a geriatric assessment […]

How does metabolism affect aging? Scientists study worms to find out
The metabolic flux of a minuscule worm called Caenorhabditis elegans might hold the key to human aging. Researchers came up with a model of the metabolism of C. elegans that offered a better understanding of the relationship between aging and metabolism. Metabolism turns food into energy that powers cellular processes. It also supplies the building blocks that the organism needs […]

Researchers say vitamins D and E and zinc can help address impaired immune function in the elderly
The immune system undergoes many changes as people age. Like the rest of the body, the immune system also weakens, making older adults more vulnerable to diseases and infections. In a paper published in the journal Nutrition Research, researchers from Chungbuk National University in Korea and Tufts University in the U.S. reviewed the results of observational studies and clinical trials examining the effects of […]
