Increased longevity has resulted in an Aging WorldAffluent nations/societies most affected by babyboomers reaching > age 60
The older population (> 65 years) was 36.8 million in2005 in USARepresented 12.4% of U.S. population- about one inevery eight AmericansExpected to be 20% by year 2030- about 75 million
Will comprise 1 in 5 Americans by 2030

20th century saw a global phenomenon of longevity atriumph and a challengeAverage life expectancy at birth- increased by 20 years since1950 to 66 yearsIs expected to increase another 10 years by 2050By 2050, the population of older people will exceed that ofchildren (0-14 yrs)Is a social phenomenon without historical precedent
In 2002, number of persons > 60 years was 605 million;expectedBy 2050, number is expected to reach almost 2 billion

In biology, senescence is the process of ageing Senescence is the steady deterioration of cell functionfollowing the period of development in youth Cellular senescence- cells lose the ability to divide in responseto DNA damage -cells either senesce, or self-destruct(apoptosis) if the damage is irreparable Organismal senescence is the aging of whole organisms.Aging SenescenceSpecies have different "rates of aging"- a mouse is elderly at3 years; humans at 85 yrsApart from species specific genetics, chance eventsdetermine the probability of death

Mortality increases exponentiallyBiochemical composition of tissue changes
Physiologic capacity decreasesAbility to maintain homeostasis diminishesSusceptibility and vulnerability to diseaseincreases
Environmental and Genetic factorsinfluence the rate of aging
8/12/2019 3,Overview Geriatri-menua Sehat
29/132
Loss of physiologic reserve and decreasedhomeostatic control may result from: Allostatic load (persistent activation of normal
neuroendocrine, immune, and autonomic responsesto stress)
Development of homeostenosis (altered response tophysiologic stresses)
Changes are generally irreversible

Synopsis: Oxygen converted during metabolismcauses protein, lipid, and DNA damage over time
In support: Mutations in oxidative stress pathway can extend life
span Mutations in other pathways that increase longevity

33/132
Synopsis : Age-acquired chromosomal instabilitiescontribute to gene silencing or expression of disease-related genes (e.g. cancer genes)
In support: Damage by free radicals causes mitochondrial DNA
(mtDNA) mutations in muscle and brain Defective mitochondrial respiration and further oxidant
injury creates a cycle of damage
Mitochondrial mutations and defective respiration havebeen linked to neurodegeneration
In opposition : The practical impact on non-diseasedaging appears to be minimal
8/12/2019 3,Overview Geriatri-menua Sehat
34/132
Synopsis: Time-acquired deficits, primarily in T-cellfunction, increase susceptibility to infections and
cancer
In support : Some diseases are associated with
aging
In opposition : Immunologic function is apparently
not directly related to healthy aging

Synopsis: Hypothalamic and pituitary responsesare altered (TRH, GNRH, GHRH, TSH, LH, FSH,
GH, ACTH)

Loss of proliferative potential, e.g.: Slower onset of lymphocyte proliferation Diminished cloning efficiency of individual T cells
Fewer population doublings of fibroblasts
Proliferative potential does not invariably diminishwith age
Changes in gene expression, signal transduction,and telomere length contribute to cellular aging

38/132
Age-dependent problems with apoptosis couldresult in leukemias, lymphomas, and abnormaltissue repair
Apoptosis may play a role in age-relatedneurodegeneration, e.g.: Neuronal loss in Alzheimers disease may be due to
cytotoxicity of -amyloid, which can induce apoptosisin cultured cells
Putative toxins such as free radicals have beenimplicated in neuronal loss in Parkinsons disease
