Background—Aging results in vascular stiffening and an increase in the velocity of the
pressure wave as it travels down the aorta. Increased aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV) has …

Background Sarcopenia is thought to be accompanied by increased muscle fat infiltration.
However, no longitudinal studies have examined concomitant changes in muscle mass …

ContextAerobic fitness, an important predictor of cardiovascular disease and mortality, is
difficult to assess by maximal exercise testing in older adults. Extended walking tests have …

OBJECTIVE: In an effort to evolve semi-quantitative scoring methods based upon limitations
identified in existing tools, integrating expert readers' experience with all available scoring …

OBJECTIVE A loss of skeletal muscle mass is frequently observed in older adults. The aim of

Hydrofluoroalkane-134a (HFA) beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) was formulated in a
metered-dose inhaler (MDI) to deliver a particle size of 1.1 microm compared with 35 …

The inflammation of aging hypothesis purports that aging is the accumulation of damage,
which results, in part, from chronic activation of inflammation process. We tested this …

Abstract Study Objectives: This study examined the association between disturbed sleep
and poorer daytime function in older women. Design: Observational study. Participants …

Background. Although gait speed slows with age, the rate of slowing varies greatly. To date,
little is known about the trajectories of gait speed, their correlates, and their risk for mortality …

Study objectives To compare the lung deposition of radiolabeled hydrofluoroalkane-134a
beclomethasone dipropionate (HFA-BDP) with chlorofluorocarbon fluticasone propionate …
