Identity development across the lifespan.
… investigated identity development across the lifespan by applying Erickson's and Marcia's identity constructs to two developmental models, the selective optimization and compensation model and a holistic wellness model. Data was gathered from traditionally aged college freshmen and adults …

Reasons for living across the lifespan
This study examined gender and age-related differences in reasons for living, using a sample of 50 young adults (M = 20.2), 53 middle-aged adults (M = 49.3), and 55 older adults ( M = 78.5). Participants completed a combined version of the Reasons for Living Inventory, the Reasons for Living …

Lifespan changes in covert attention alignment
… two ways changes throughout the course of the lifespan. Subjects (6, 8, 10, 23, and 73 years) were tested in two conditions. In the first, subjects were presented with a stimulus cue (a dot that appears briefly at a target location) prior to the presentation of a target. Attention was …

Peripheral and Cerebrovascular Function during the Female Lifespan
… vascular physiology throughout the female lifespan particularly during life events such as menopause and pregnancy. The rapid decline in oestrogen during the menopause is associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) risk, potentially via reduced vascular function. Moreover pregnancy, where …

Three studies on life expectancy and lifespan inequality
… of different population groups. By contrast, lifespan inequality captures variations in age at death, offering a broader view of health disparities. Focusing on lifespan inequality enables policymakers and researchers to identify vulnerable populations, design more equitable health and social …

Sociocultural Influences on Body Image Across the Lifespan
<p>Body image concerns are prevalent in Western society. Sociocultural theories posit that the media are largely responsible for body image dissatisfaction because they have an omnipresent influence which consistently portrays unrealistically thin females and hyper-muscular males, which are then …

Microbiota-gut-immune-brain communication across the lifespan
… on host physiology are relevant across the lifespan, with continuous communication between the gut microbiome and the central nervous system (CNS) representing an important aspect of this host-microbe dialogue. A growing body of research into dissecting the involvement of the gut microbiota …

Visual attention in naturalistic scenes across the lifespan.
… and changes in attentional control through the lifespan. My findings show that children below the age of 10 are less able to inhibit attentional capture by distractors, which increased the risk of unsafe crossing decisions. In similar, simple situations, older adults also show an attentional …

Clonal dynamics of haematopoiesis across the human lifespan
The haematopoietic system manifests several age-associated phenotypes including anaemia; loss of regenerative capacity, especially in the face of insults such as infection, chemotherapy or blood loss; and increased risk of clonal haematopoiesis and blood cancers. The cellular alterations that …

Single-cell atlasing of the human tissues across the lifespan
… the research question, namely change across the lifespan. I start with a brief introduction to single-cell atlasing, the huge variety of spatial transcriptomics and proteomic technologies, focusing on Visium and IBEX. Next, I provide an overview of the prenatal and postnatal periods of …

Mitochondrial Inheritance and Function in the Lifespan Control of Budding Yeast
… to the bud tip and its effect on yeast lifespan determination are presented. Mitochondria at the bud tip are associated with cortical ER (cER) sheets underlying the plasma membrane. Mmr1p, a member of the DSL1 family of tethering proteins, mediates anchorage of mitochondria at the bud …

The use of landmark-based wayfinding strategies across the adult lifespan
… Strategy preference changes across the adult lifespan, with decreasing allocentric strategy use primarily attributed to reduced hippocampal function, and impaired egocentric strategy use associated with age-related learning and memory deficits. Analysis revealed that older adults exhibited a …

Single-cell Protein-Transcriptome Atlas of Haematopoiesis across the Human Lifespan
The haematopoietic system is responsible for the continuous production of stem and progenitor cells, which divide and mature to produce a wide variety of specialised circulating blood cells. Proper regulation of lineage decisions is key to ensure the right balance between the generation of …
