Life Span Maximum life span is the theoretic species specific, longest duration of life, excluding premature unnatural life. Jeanne Calment, died July 1997 at age of 122. Lowland gorilla: 47 yrs Horse: 35 yrs American hookworm: 15 yrs Earthworm: 6 yrs
Life Expectancy Life expectancy is the average number of additional years expected for a member of a population, regardless of cause of death.
Theories of Ageing Life span and Life expectancy.   Definition of Ageing. What causes ageing? Clinical approach to ageing.
What is Ageing?
Ageing vs Senescence “ Senescence”: deteriorative processes that constitute natural causes of death. “ Ageing”: processes of accruing maturity with the passage of time, including... George Martin. In: The ageing process, 1984
Ageing vs Senescence Positive aspects like: - becoming wiser - mellow - evolution of life style … “ just like wine, improves as it ages but not as it senesces”.
Stages of Lifespan Prenatal life Birth Postnatal life neonatal infancy childhood early middle late adolescence adulthood senescence Death fertilisation-10months birth thru’week 2 3 wks - 1st birthday 2 - 6 yrs 7 - 10 yrs prepubertal 6 yrs following puberty 20 - 65 yrs from 65 yrs Ee
What is Ageing? A ubiquitous biologic process, characterised by a progressive, inevitable evolution and maturation until death. Ee Susan A Gaylord, Mark E Williams. In: Geriatrics Review Syllabus, 1990
Theories of Ageing Life span and Life expectancy. Definition of Ageing. What causes ageing? Clinical approach to ageing. Ee
Ageing Process   primary ageing secondary ageing Ee True primary ageing is an ongoing normal process.
Environmental hazards Ionising radiation? Pollutants? Chemicals Diet? Ambient temperature? Diseases? Ee
Theories of Ageing “ The scientific study of ageing has been an odd mixture of the accumulation of mountains of dismal evidence that shows that almost anything you can think of goes wrong with age, and proposals of simplistic theories that try to explain ageing in terms of single processes, ranging from defective testicles to shortened telomeres.” Ee Brian Charlesworth, an evolutionary biologist
Theories of Ageing Research in ageing: Traditional gerontologist Evolutionary biologist 300 over theories till date! Ee
Theories of Ageing “ Programmed” theories – the biological clocks. “ Error” theories – identify environmental insults. Ee
Theories of Ageing Evolutionary Molecular Cellular Systemic Ee Brian T. Weinert and Poala S. Timiras . Theories of Ageing.  J Appl Physiol 95: 1706-1716, 2003.
Evolutionary Theories of Ageing Mutation accumulation Disposable soma Antagonistic pleiotropy Ee
Molecular Theories of Ageing Gene regulation Codon restriction Error catastrophe Somatic mutation Dysdifferentiation Ee
Cellular Theories of Ageing Cellular senescence – Telomere theory Free radical Wear-and-tear Apoptosis Ee
System Theories of Ageing Neuroendocrine Immunologic Rate-of-living Ee
Theories of Ageing Biological theories genotropic environmental Psycho-social theories: Disengagement  Exchange  Labelling Social Stratification Political economy Continuity Ee
Summary of Presentation Life span and Life expectancy. Definition of Ageing. What causes ageing? Clinical approach to ageing. Ee
Clinical Approach to Ageing Ee True ageing vs disease states Biologic ageing vs chronologic ageing Promoting positive ageing
Positive Ageing: Pre-requisites Ageing is not denied; Perceptions and understanding of ageing are not disempowering; Differences between people are acknowledged. Ee Mary Davies
Reconceptualisation  of  Ageing? Ageing exclusively characterised by declines in function & in health? Substantial heterogeneity? Existence of positive trajectories of ageing? Possible avoidance of age-related diseases and disabilities? Ee
Mechanisms of successful ageing Persistence of normal function and plasticity Compensatory responses to restore function  Interventions to replace deficient function Changing of health outcome by modifying risk profiles Prevention of diseases Strengthening of social interactions and support Ee Brian T. Weinert and Poala S. Timiras .
Promote Positive Ageing Acceptance of ageing empowerment individuality physical activity social contact/friendship developing coping skills valuing experience, knowledge etc. Denial of ageing disempowerment being stereotyped sedentary lifestyle social withdrawal psychological stress overvaluing paid work Ee Brendan Kennelly Encourage Avoid
Conclusion Ageing process is multifactorial and complex; Research is still ongoing to determine the cause(s) or explain the process of ageing; None is conclusive; One important goal: how does intervention signals the body to delay ageing? “ Successful” ageing is possible. Ee
