Sarcopenia is a syndrome characterized by progressive and generalized skeletal muscle mass strength loss, as well poor physical performance, which strongly been associated with aging. Sedentary lifestyle in the elderly contributes to this condition; however, activity improves health, reducing morbidity mortality. Recent studies have shown that metformin (MTF) can also prevent damage promoting muscular performance. To date, there great controversy if MTF treatment combined exercise training...
Dementia is a chronic, degenerative disease with strong impact on families and health systems. The instruments currently in use for measuring cognitive impairment have different psychometric characteristics terms of application time, cut-off point, reliability, validity. objective this review to describe the validated, Spanish-language versions Mini-Cog, Clock-Drawing Test, Mini-Mental State Examination scales screening.We performed three-stage literature search articles published Medline...
Osteosarcopenic obesity (OSO) is characterized by bone density, mass, and muscle strength loss, in conjunction with adipose tissue increase. OSO impairs physical activity mobility, provoking autonomy loss; also, it known that augmenting body fat the elderly decreases life expectancy. The main factors influencing this health deterioration are inflammatory environment induced its infiltration into tissue, which leads to oxidative stress generation. Currently, there several treatments delay...
The loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength is known as sarcopenia; it characterized a progressive generalized disorder associated with aging. This deterioration can seriously compromise the elderly's health reduce their quality life. In addition to age, there are other factors that induce loss, among which sedentary lifestyle, chronic diseases, inflammation, obesity. recent years, new clinical condition has been observed in older adults affects physical capacities life, osteosarcopenic...
Chronic-degenerative diseases have recently become one of the main problems health worldwide, particularly those affecting nervous system. These disorders include multiple in aged human population. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is most frequent cause dementia; clinically characterized by a progressive loss memory and other cognitive functions. Histopathologically, defined presence neuritic plaques (NP) neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) that lead to neuronal death. The major constituent NP are 40 42...
