Smoking is a problem that has not been solved until now. Smoking has spread to various groups, from children to the elderly, men and women. This smoking habit can harm adolescents directly or indirectly which has been proven to interfere with the growth and development of adolescents. Many factors are associated with smoking behavior in adolescents aged 15-18 years. These factors are discussed based on research articles and book references. Factors that influence the relationship include peer association, price, and lack of parental attention. Smoking can increase the risk of several diseases, such as cancer, pregnancy disorders, and hypertension. Smoking too often not only causes problems in the development and growth of adolescents.

The Relationship

We examined the effect of aging on the relationship between the concentrations of blood ionized calcium and of serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) in 22 healthy men [9 elderly (age 74 +/- 2 yr) and 13 young (age 39 +/- 1 yr)] in whom the glomerular filtration rate was > 70 ml/min. Throughout a 24-h period, serum concentrations of PTH in the elderly men were twice those in the young men, whereas blood ionized calcium did not differ between the two groups. With intravenous infusion of calcium gluconate, the minimum PTH concentration was two- to threefold higher in the elderly men. With infusion of NaEDTA. the maximum PTH concentration was 20% higher in the elderly men. The calcium set point for PTH release was higher in the elderly than in the young men (4.71 +/- 0.04 vs. 4.54 +/- 0.03 mg/dl, respectively, P < 0.005). In these healthy men, the age-related increase in serum PTH could not be attributed to a sustained decrease in concentration of either blood ionized calcium or 1,25-hydroxyvitamin D. These findings suggest that, with aging, the relationship between calcium and PTH is altered such that at any given level of calcium, the concentration of PTH is higher.

ABSTRACTIntroduction: 52.31% of the number of health complaints in elderly women is higher than the percentage of elderly men is 49, 74%. Changes that occur in the elderly tend to decrease in physical, psychological, psychosocial systems. This requires an action activity that can reach all aspects of the decline that is by doing elderly gymnastics. The purpose of this research to identify the benefits of elderly exercise on the quality of life of the elderly. Research methods by using literature review as a guide to search for research articles obtained from the internet using the Science Direct site, and Google Scholar. The results analysis of 10 selected research articles shows that elderly exercise can have several benefits, namely: physical benefits can improve physical fitness, body balance, breathing, and decreased blood pressure in elderly hypertension. Psychological benefits can improve sleep quality, decrease insomnia levels, decrease depression levels, reduce stress levels, and manage pain. Social and environmental benefits. Elderly exercise 3 times a week with a minimum duration of 30 minutes and a maximum of 40 minutes with a time of> 4 weeks will be more effective in getting many benefits.

The Relationship

This study investigates the differences between the relationship between elderly occupational status and modernization for men and women. Consonant with previous findings [1], it finds that economic development is associated with relative losses of elderly men in professional and technical occupations. Augmenting those findings, however, it finds an even stronger association between development and such losses for women. In accounting for the differences, several explanations are advanced and tested, using data from fifty-one nations.

The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES), physical health and the need for long-term care (NLTC) of the Chinese elderly, and further, to provide evidence-based advice for establishing an LTC system in China. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Shandong Province, China in 2017 by using multi-stage random sampling method. Data were collected from elderly individuals aged 60 years and older by self-designed questionnaires through face-to face interviews. A total of 7070 participants were finally included in the database (40.3% male, 59.7% female). Chi-square test analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) were conducted to clarify the association between SES, physical health and NLTC among the Chinese elderly men and women in Shandong Province. The results of the SEM analysis showed that physical health exerted a strong and negative effect on the NLTC for both genders, with a slightly stronger effect found among the elderly men. SES was found to be significantly and negatively related to the NLTC among the elderly women, while no statistical significance was found for the association between SES and NLTC for elderly men. A significant and positive association between SES and physical health was observed among the elderly men and women, with a slightly stronger effect among the elderly women. Implications for lowering the NLTC and developing an LTC system were addressed based on the findings above.

Presentation of a token of appreciation to elderly respondents was used as an opportunity to test some hypotheses in regard to the dynamics of giving and receiving. Specific gift-situation reactions which seemed relevant to ego strength, dependency and retentiveness were used to predict scores on more traditional measures of these personality-behavior traits. Two populations of elderly men and women were studied. All were residents of public housing facilities. Correlations of gift-behavior ratings with criterion data collected nine months later confirm that the style in which a gift is received discloses basic personality functions. The findings suggest that the growing necessity to pay or otherwise reciprocate for data may provide opportunity for additional hypothesis testing.

AbstractThe MentDis_ICF65+ Project is an epidemiological study of mental disorders in people 65 to 85 years old in several European cities, including Madrid. Its aim is to determine the lifetime, 12-month, and 1-month prevalence of the main mental disorders in the elderly. The relationship of age and sex with each mental disorder was examined. The sample was collected through random sampling of people over 65 in Madrid, and consisted of 555 persons between 65 and 85 years old. The CIDI65+ was administered. Estimates of prevalence and odds ratios (OR) were made using sample frequencies and according to sex and age. Excluding nicotine dependence, 40.12% of the sample was found to have suffered a mental disorder at some time in their lives, 29.89% in the past year, and 17.70% were currently suffering from a mental disorder. The disorders with the highest prevalence rates were anxiety disorders, alcohol-related disorders, and mood disorders. Elderly women had a higher risk of suffering an anxiety disorder (OR men/women 0.42; CI 0.25–0.68) with a significance level of p < .001, while elderly men were more affected by any substance-related disorder (OR men/women 3.96; CI 1.62–11.07) with a significance level of p < .001. Each disorder’s prevalence decreased with age (OR 65–74/75–85, 1.85; CI 1.25–2.75) with a significance level of p < .01. Results show higher prevalence rates than previous studies reported. The main implications of this study, and the need to adapt mental health services for people over 65, are highlighted.

Abstract Age related changes in porosity of cortical bone have been previously reported. The cortical porosity increases with age in both men and women, from 4.6% in men and 4% in women at age 40 to 10% and more at age 80 (Laval-Jeantet et al., 1983). The porosity is defined as the percentage of cortical bone occupied by vascular and resorption cavities. There are a few quantitative data regarding the influences of Haversian canal and resorption space on porosity. Age related increases in Haversian canal size and Haversian canal number contribute to the increasing porosity of cortical bone for the elderly men and women (Thompson, 1980; Nyssen-behets et al., 1997). The number of osteoclastic resorption space is also greater in the old men than in the young men (Nyssen-Behets et al., 1997).

The Relationship

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between postural sway and body factors (height, weight, and base of support) and their possible gender-difference during quiet standing in elderly subjects. A total of 46 elderly subjects (23 men and 23 women) performed quiet standing in feet-together and natural stances on a force platform. As outcome measures, mean distance (MD), total power (TP), and 95% power frequency were derived from the center of pressure (COP) trajectory. Correlations between body factors and outcome measures were investigated in each gender, and the gender-difference of the correlations was identified. Also, stepwise multiple regressions were performed to recognize the major determinants (among body factors) of the outcome measures in each gender. Significant gender-differences were observed in the correlation of the outcome measures with body factors. In case of the feet-together stance, postural sway size (MD and TP) increased with weight in men, but not in women. In case of the natural stance, 95% power frequency of sway increased with base of support (BOS) in men, but not in women. Stepwise multiple regressions revealed that weight in the feet-together stance and BOS in the natural stance were the major determinants of outcome measures, and that their influence on outcome measures differed between genders. Relationships between postural sway and body factors differed between genders in the elderly. These results suggest that elderly men and women may have different postural control strategies related to body factors and the normalization of the postural sway variables by body factors may not be performed in the same way in elderly men and women.
