Study reveals we still don't know which factors most affect cognitive decl
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
A new analysis explores relative statistical associations between various life factors and cognitive decline in elderly Americans, highlighting gaps in knowledge needed to reduce cognitive decline. Hui Zheng of the Ohio State University, U.S., and colleagues present these findings in the ope

Researchers explore how age and sex influence our body clocks
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
The human body runs on a finely tuned clock synchronized to the 24-hour cycle of Earth's rotation, known as the circadian clock, which controls various physiological processes such as the sleep-wake cycle, hormone production, and metabolism.

New study finds that age-related fat may lead to less effective muscle fun
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
According to a new study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, age-related abdominal fat gain is associated with reduced muscular density. Low muscle density indicates that the muscle contains more fat, which might lead to less effective athletic activity and, as

Effects of resistance training in older adults explored by researchers
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
A protein response that develops at the cellular level as a result of ageing causes low-grade inflammation and a balance between oxidants and antioxidants, which is the root of many diseases.

China's economy faltering amid ageing population, slow growth rate
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Moreover, the decline in population lays bare the country's falling birthrate, a trend that experts said was exacerbated by the pandemic and will threaten its growth over the long term. The 3 per cent growth rate, the second weakest since 1976, reflects the stifling effect of the government'

Research shows that exercise promotes a molecular profile in muscle
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
A recent paper published in the Journal of Physiology deepened the case for the youthfulness-promoting effects of exercise on ageing organisms, building on previous work done with lab mice nearing the end of their natural lifespan that had access to a weighted exercise wheel.

Overactive cell metabolism linked to biological ageing: Research
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Why do cells, and by extension humans, age? The answer may have a lot to do with mitochondria, the organelles that supply cells with energy. Though that idea is not new, direct evidence in human cells had been lacking.

Overactive cell metabolism is associated with biological ageing: Study
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Why do cells, and thus people, age? The solution could be related to mitochondria, the organelles that provide energy to cells. Though this is not a new thing, direct evidence in human cells had previously been lacking, until now.
