40 p, 706.2 KB Solitary days, solitary activities, and associations with well-being among older adults / Lam, Jack (University of Queensland) ; Garcia Roman, Joan (Centre d'Estudis Demogràfics)
Objectives. - Drawing on activity theory of aging, we examined whether solitary activities may be associated with negative well-being, as they may reflect social isolation. Using American Time Use Surveys, with information on "with whom" individuals engaged in activities over a 24 hr period, we created measures capturing solitary days and solitary activities to understand their prevalence and associations with well-being.

Sedentary behavior (SB) and physical activity (PA) are important determinants of health in older adults. This study aimed to describe the composition of accelerometer-measured SB and PA in older adults, to explore self-reported context-specific SB, and to assess sociodemographic and functional correlates of engaging in higher levels of SB in participants of a multicenter study including four European countries.

11 p, 5.8 MB Sexual Dimorphism in the Behavioral Responses and the Immunoendocrine Status in d-Galactose-Induced Aging / Baeta Corral, Raquel (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Psiquiatria i de Medicina Legal) ; Castro-Fuentes, Rafael (University of La Laguna. Department of Basic Medical Sciences) ; Gimenez-Llort, Lydia (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Neurociències)
For almost 20 years, chronic systemic d-galactose, a monosaccharide abundantly present in milk products, fruits, and vegetables, has been used as a tool to achieve models of accelerated aging. Its neurotoxicity, induced by abnormal accumulation of reactive oxygen species and advanced glycation end products, has been widely reported. [...]
