Impact of age-friendly living environment and intrinsic capacity on functional ability in older adults: a cross-sectional study

Abstract Background The World Health Organization (WHO) has proposed healthy aging framework, supposing that intrinsic capacity (IC), environment and their interaction may have influence on functional ability (FA). It was still unclear how ...

Watching Out for Older Drivers

Abstract Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of injury-related deaths among adults age 65 to 74. This risk for traffic fatalities may triple as the numbers of older drivers increases in the coming years. It is the ethical opinion ...

Advances in the Development of PET Ligands Targeting Histone Deacetylases for the Assessment of Neurodegenerative Diseases

Epigenetic alterations of gene expression have emerged as a key factor in several neurodegenerative diseases. In particular, inhibitors targeting histone deacetylases (HDACs), which are enzymes responsible for deacetylation of histones and ...

Crossing frontiers: gerontology emerges as a science

Introduction Two Precursors Keywords OLD AGE BECOMES A 'PROBLEM' WORTH INVESTIGATING SCIENTIFICALLY 1. Surveying the Frontiers of Aging 2. Setting Boundaries for Disciplined Discoveries 3. Establishing Outposts for Multidisciplinary Researc...

Handbook of Social Gerontology.

Social gerontology is concerned with the phenomena of aging which are related to man as a member of the social group. This handbook is addressed to research workers, teachers, and graduate students as a text and as a guide. Over 50 colleges...

Current Gerontology and Geriatrics Research

Current Gerontology and Geriatrics Research publishes research based on molecular, cellular, organismal aspects of gerontological research and in diagnosis, treatment, evaluation and educational aspects of geriatrics research....

Gerontology

With millions of men and women growing older, baffled by changes in themselves and in the world around them, the country has a definite need for not only large scale provisions for their care but also for a specific and individual service f...

Educational Gerontology

The term "educational gerontology" was first used in a 1970 doctoral program at the University of Michigan to denote those "activities and study that occur at the interface of education and gerontology" (Peterson 1980: 68).It achieved acade...

An Introduction to Gerontology

With the world's population getting increasingly older, there has never been a more pressing need for the study of old age and ageing. An Introduction to Gerontology provides a wide-ranging introduction to this important topic. By assuming ...

Principles of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology.

This comprehensive text continues its tradition of presenting the latest in diagnosis and management of disorders affecting the elderly. Featuring experts from the fields of geriatric medicine and gerontology, this text provides a uniquely ...

Crystal structure of desvenlafaxinium 3,5-dinitrobenzoate 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid monohydrate, C30H35N5O15

Corrigendum to “Protective coatings for complex organic flexible materials I: characterization and tribological performance of TiO2 and ZnO films deposited by magnetron sputtering on cork” [Applied Surface Science Advances 27 (2025) 100753]

The Importance of Rare-Earth Additions in Zr-Based AB2 Metal Hydride Alloys

Effects of substitutions of rare earth (RE) elements (Y, La, Ce, and Nd) to the Zr-based AB2 multi-phase metal hydride (MH) alloys on the structure, gaseous phase hydrogen storage (H-storage), and electrochemical properties were studied and...

Influence of chemical composition and discontinuities on energy transformation and rock mass behaviour: Insights into geological dynamic

Abstract In this study, efforts were made to incorporate the influence of discontinuities and failure modes of rock into the classification of rock masses. The past tectonic activities may create microfractures in the rock body therefore th...

Study of the growth mechanism of a self-assembled and ordered multi-dimensional heterojunction at atomic resolution

Abstract Multi-dimensional heterojunction materials have attracted much attention due to their intriguing properties, such as high efficiency, wide band gap regulation, low dimensional limitation, versatility and scalability. To further imp...

Properties of aniline or O-phenylenediamine/YBCO hybrid materials

YBa2Cu3O7-δ(YBCO) bulk material prepared by high temperature solid state reaction was milled and dispersed through ultrasonic process in ethanol to prepare nanoscale YBCO/ethanol sol. Then it was mixed with aniline or O-phenylenediamine and...

Dynamic Assembly of Microgels and Polymers at Non‐Aqueous Liquid/Liquid Interfaces

Abstract Particle assembly at liquid–liquid interfaces presents a promising bottom‐up strategy for creating supramolecular materials with advanced functionalities. However, the significantly lower interfacial tension observed in immiscible ...

Adsorption of Nucleic Acid Bases, Ribose, and Phosphate by Some Clay Minerals

Besides having a large capacity for taking up organic molecules, clay minerals can catalyze a variety of organic reactions. Derived from rock weathering, clay minerals would have been abundant in the early Earth. As such, they might be expe...
