Ageing (British English) or aging (American English) is the process of becoming older. In the narrow sense, the term refers to biological ageing of human beings, animals and other organisms. In the broader sense, ageing can refer to single cells within an organism (cellular ageing) or to the population of a species (population ageing).
In humans, ageing represents the accumulation of changes in a human being over time, encompassing physical, psychological, and social change. Reaction time, for example, may slow with age, while knowledge of world events and wisdom may expand. Ageing is among the greatest known risk factors for most human diseases: of the roughly 150,000 people who die each day across the globe, about two thirds die from age-related causes.
The causes of ageing are unknown; current theories are assigned to the damage concept, whereby the accumulation of externally induced damage (such as DNA point mutations) may cause biological systems to fail, or to the programmed ageing concept, whereby internal processes (such as DNA telomere shortening) may cause ageing.
Can we really cure ageing? David Sinclair thinks so, and he's going to try to prove it. David Sinclair is a scientist and entrepreneur working on increasing human health, productivity, and lifespan. After co-discovering a molecular cause of aging at the Massachusetts Institute in Boston in the mid-1990s, he joined the faculty of Harvard Medical School where he is now a tenured Professor. In 2005, he founded the Glenn Laboratories for Aging Research at Harvard and serves as their Co-Director. He is also a Professor at the Lowy Cancer Centre at the University of New South Wales, Sydney. His research is aimed at understanding why we grow old and using this knowledge to prevent and treat both rare and common diseases. He is perhaps best known for identifying resveratrol from red wine as an...

Claire is a practicing geriatrician who has recently taken to research to try to understand how some older individuals become frail, while others successfully age. She graduated with first class honours from Cambridge University and Bart's and the London Medical School, and spent several years working the acute medicine wards in central London. Finding so many unanswered questions about how we treat, and how we might prevent frailty, she competed for and won a Wellcome Trust Research Fellowship to investigate the key to successful ageing within older twins.

A lot of celebrities have retired lately. Some age gracefully some....well you decide how some of them have aged. People are correcting my spelling of Aging in the title. In the US and Canada it is spelled A-G-I-N-G and in the UK and Australia it is spelled A-G-E-I-N-G. This video is based on a British originated email, so it is spelled the UK way. (I know how to use a spell checker!)

There is a growing consensus from scientists, research funders and policy makers that ageing itself needs to be studied from an interdisciplinary and life course perspective, to inform strategies for reducing the societal and individual costs of an ageing population.a Life Course Approach to Healthy Ageing is a synthesis of life course perspectives in epidemiology and interdisciplinary perspectives in ageing research. It brings together expert investigators of maturing birth cohort and ageing studies, cross-cutting methodologists, and authorities in ageing resear...

In the era when the baby boomers have started drawing their pensions, the boundaries of what constitutes old age have never seemed more fluid, and ageing has never been presented by advertisers and marketers in a more dynamic fashion.however, the fact remains that ageing is still widely feared, and growing old is an inherently gendered process, in which ageing women are paradoxically both rendered invisible and subjected to d...

The contributors discuss ways that age-related epigenetic imprints such as Dna methylation and histone acetylation are modified by these two interventions. The emphasis on epigenetics helps to illuminate the underlying mechanisms of anti-ageing interventions, as ageing and disease are predominately epigenetic phenomena.among the highlights are chapter-length discussion of such topics as: how anti-inflammatory action of calorie restriction underlies the retardation of ageing and age-related diseases (chapter 3); epigenetic modification of gene expression by exercise (chapter 5); the role of func...

Get your free audiobook or ebook: http://yazz.space/sabk/35/en/B000OT8F22/book Older persons are often portrayed as social and financial burdens because pensions, health and social care have to withstand increasing old age dependency ratios. Due to a lack of access to representation or a lack of social and economic power, older people have found few opportunities to have their voices heard, making age an immensely political issue. Written by an impressive team of authors, this book provides an in-depth analysis of the experience of ageing in Singapore examining key issues such as health, work, housing, family ties and care giving. It looks at how social categorization enters into everyday life to elucidate the multiple meanings of age and identity encountered in a rapidly changing economy ...

Dr Matt Piper, UCL Institute of Healthy Ageing It has been known for some time that moderate dietary restriction can extend healthy lifespan in a variety of organisms. By experimenting on fruitflies, we are uncovering that only very small changes in specific nutrients are required for this effect. Importantly, these effects appear to be evolutionarily conserved, meaning these new discoveries could be applied to benefit human ageing.
Treating cancer isn't enough for Craig Venter. He wants to make sure you never get it in the first place. Venter is the co-founder of Human Longevity, Inc. – a genomics company that's creating the world's largest and most comprehensive database of human genes. By sequencing human genomes, Venter can predict the likelihood of an individual developing a disease later in life. And he's now trying to cure the ultimate disease: ageing.
This Special Report takes you to the God's own country, Kerala which is facing an unprecedented demographic transition with a rapidly ageing population. The increasing number of elderly in Kerala has led to the mushrooming of old age homes. This show peeks into the lives of the people living inside these old age homes and shares their sorrows and troubles. The Kerala Government has raised the retirement age from 56 to 60 years which has been opposed by the youth organisations and the Left. The government will also follow the contributory pension scheme as the number of pensioners have exceeded the number of employees. The report also talks about various socio economic factors like migration and unemployment. A majority of families in Kerala have been affected by migration to Gulf countr...

Liz Parrish on Gene Therapy and how to counter the effects of ageing. She discusses using being the first patient of Bioviva - what was involved in the gene therapy and how she is feeling now - what kinds of test feedback Bioviva will be looking for to help determine the efficacy of the gene therapy treatment. Gaps between research findings and therapies being taken to market is often down to cumbersome regulation. Further she discusses how telemorase maintains healthy telomere length and how telomeres help protect from cell damage, and some of the downstream effects of shortening telomeres. Muscle mass is required to avoid diseases and accidents related to muscular dystrophy - part of her gene therapy is related to rejuvenating healthy muscle tissue. In around four more months, the ...

Was zieht her von welken Nächten ?
Fühl' nun selbst, was diese Dir brächten,
Was sie Dir bringen ... sie schon brachten.
[Das Ich nimmt wahr]
Stummes Dunkelsehen ... stolpernder Dunkelblick ...
[Die Natur vernimmt dies selbst]
Ein menschähnlicher Riß in welker Nacht Gewand ...
[Ich]
Tapfere Töne tummeln sich ... in dunkelwellenden Unbehagen ...
Schattengroße Schwebeklänge ...
[Natur]
Ein menschähnlicher Lauschepflock ...
In welker Nächte Schlummertanz...
[Ich]
Blauschwere Süße ... gekostete Traumschleier ...

Ein menschleiser Sog in welker Nächte Himmelhauch ...
[Ich]
Nahegleitende Lauerlüfte ... hautzüngelnde Schlotterschergen ...
Knochenströmendes Kältewehen ...
[Natur]
Ein menschähnlicher Zittersplitter in welker Nächte grauem Wind ...

"Ich bin fassende Ungeduld
Und oft erdachtes Zögern.
Sagbar Ich,
Ein Mensch von welker Nacht Gestalt,
