Learning a long healthy aging
… we call this gradual accumulation of changes, aging. We age at different rates, in different forms, depending on many factors throughout our lifespan. Ultimately, the many physical systems that make up our body begin to fail at the same time and in mutually detrimental ways. The human body is a …

Flipping the Narrative: Highlighting the Positive Aspects of Healthy Aging
<p>Psychological research on aging typically characterizes it as a period of decline. Numerous studies have reported age-related deficits in episodic memory, sensory perception, and fluid intelligence. These reports only add to society’s negative views of aging, which inevitably have a detrimental …

The DUC Healthy Aging Website: Providing Online Occupation-Based Information
… tailored for OAs, including tips for integrating healthy habits into their lifestyle. Dominican University of California’s (DUC) Healthy Aging website, developed in May 2014, contains relevant and evidence-based research, including activities and local community based programs that promote healthy …

Neural Correlates of Audiovisual Speech Perception In Aphasia and Healthy Aging
… processing focus on neural mechanisms within healthy, young adults, we currently know very little about how changes to the brain can affect audiovisual integration in speech. To examine this further, two particular cases of changing neural structure were investigated. I first conducted a case …

Nampt-Mediated Nad+ Homeostasis in Skeletal Muscle: Implications for Healthy Aging
… and lipid fuels. The course of natural aging leads to a gradual decline in the mass, strength, and oxidative capacity of skeletal muscle, which increases the susceptibility of the elderly to frailty and metabolic diseases, such as Type II Diabetes. Ectopic muscle lipids can also …

Uncovering the Mechanisms which Underlie the Integrative Advantage in Healthy Aging
… and relational processing and found that encouraging item-specific processing with the integrative pairs reduced their advantage, to the extent that they were not recalled significantly better than the unrelated pairs. Experiment 4 intended to assess whether interactive imagery played a role by …

Time of day effects on language discourse in healthy aging and dementia
… diurnal pattern across one 10-hour day in normal healthy aging individuals (NHA) and individuals with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. Ten healthy older adults; and ten older adults clinically labeled with probable Alzheimer’s disease were recruited for this study. Measurements of procedural …

Healthy Aging: Factors that Predict Preservation of Cognitive Functioning in Older Adults
… the human race continues to defy chronological aging in due part to medical advancements, an overarching goal for the older adult population and researchers is to determine how to promote aging well. Cognitive functioning is a heavily researched area due to the exponentially increasing number of …

SuperAgers : do octogenarians with exceptional memory hold the key to healthy aging?
… our memories. There are many different ways of aging successfully, but a growing group of scientists at Northwestern university and elsewhere are zeroing in on why some people keep the recall you'd expect of a middle-ager well into their 9th and 10th decades. The scientists do everything they …

Lifestyle factors and neuroimaging metrics as predictors of cognitive performance in healthy aging
… to be accompanied by cognitive decline. Aging is usually associated with major changes in the structure and functioning of the brain that lead to impairments in multiple cognitive functions. The trajectories of age-related effects on the brain and cognition exhibit considerable …

Predicting Vision Loss In Healthy Aging With Manganese-Enhanced Mri Of The Rat Eye
<p>In healthy aging, visual function declines throughout adulthood. Age-related changes in neuronal ion homeostasis -- specifically, increased Ca2+ influx through L-type voltage gated calcium channels (L-VGCCs) -- are believed to contribute to certain functional declines, but this possibility has …

Health and lifestyle profiles across the lifespan: results from the Louisiana Healthy Aging Study
Aging and age related disease affects individuals differently. One possible explanation could be free radical production varies among individuals and this variation determines the aging process and the progression of disease. The purpose of this study was to test whether nonagenarians have a …

Cognition in healthy aging and Parkinson's disease : structural and functional integrity of neural circuits
This dissertation documents how healthy aging and Parkinson's disease (PD) affect brain anatomy and physiology and how these neural changes relate to measures of cognition and perception. While healthy aging and PD are both accompanied by a wide-range of cognitive impairments, the neural …

Investigating the neuroprotective role of carboxyl-terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein (CHIP) in healthy aging
… cellular and physiological mechanisms underlying aging itself remain ill-defined. Their intrinsic complexity is further exacerbated by the difficulty inherent in segregating processes associated with pathological aging from those related to the normal, healthy aging process. Given that protein …
