  1. 6. Mathematical Modelling of Cellular Ageing: a Multi-Scale Perspective

    Författare :Barbara Schnitzer; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; replicative ageing; healthy ageing; yeast; complex systems; multi-scale model; hybrid model; flux balance analysis; ordinary differential equations; Boolean modelling;

    Sammanfattning : In a growing and increasingly older population, we are progressively challenged by the impact of ageing on individuals and society. The UN declared the years 2021-2030 as the Decade of Healthy Ageing, highlighting the efforts to minimise the burden of ageing and age-related diseases. LÄS MER

  3. 7. The art of ageing well : a salutogenic perspective on physical activity for older adults

    Författare :Helena Ericson; Susanna Geidne; Mikael Quennerstedt; Inger Eliasson; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Health resources; exercise; salutogenesis; sport and physical activity; ageing well;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis examines older adults’ participation in physical activity, and is framed within a salutogenic theory regarding ageing well, or as others say, healthy ageing. Ageing well can be studied in numerous ways. Since this thesis is within the field of Sport Sciences, different physical activity initiatives for older adults are in focus. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Losing control and developing concerns : The complexities of ageing postural control and fall-related concerns

    Författare :Mascha Pauelsen; Lars Nyberg; Ulrik Röijezon; Irene Vikman; Jorunn Lægdheim Helbostad; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ageing; postural balance; postural control; sensory and motor systems; fall-related concerns; fear of falling; neurological models; Physiotherapy; Fysioterapi;

    Sammanfattning : With the world population shifting its proportions towards higher ages, it is imperative to increase healthspan rather than lifespan, both for the sakes of community sustainability as well as individual quality of life. One of the main means to obtain healthy ageing, is a concept called active ageing, as activity has shown to slow down the natural ageing process. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Diet and sarcopenia risk in community-dwelling older European adults

    Författare :Diego Montiel Rojas; Fawzi Kadi; Elodie Ponsot; Andreas Nilsson; Rikard Landberg; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Muscle mass; Muscle strength; Physical function; Healthy diet; Mediterranean diet; Macronutrients; Healthy ageing; Physical activity; Metabolic syndrome;

    Sammanfattning : The age-related decline in muscle strength and muscle mass can lead to sarcopenia with higher risk of falls, disability, and loss of independence. In this context, healthy dietary habits have the potential to delay onset of physical limitations, thereby promoting healthy ageing. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Computational discovery of DNA methylation patterns as biomarkers of ageing, cancer, and mental disorders : Algorithms and Tools

    Författare :Behrooz Torabi Moghadam; Jan Komorowski; Manfred Grabherr; Jaak Vilo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; DNA methylation; machine learning; biomarker; cancer; ageing; classification;

    Sammanfattning : Epigenetics refers to the mitotically heritable modifications in gene expression without a change in the genetic code. A combination of molecular, chemical and environmental factors constituting the epigenome is involved, together with the genome, in setting up the unique functionality of each cell type. LÄS MER
