One of the most important of these changes is the spectacular increase in life expectancy, with the consequent aging of the population.
The identification of free radical reactions as promoters of the aging process implies that interventions aimed at limiting or inhibiting them should be able to reduce the rate of formation of aging changes with a consequent reduction of the aging rate and disease pathogenesis (Harman 2003).

In particular for railway bridges, service loads and stress cycles accumulated under traffic loads, and the consequent ageing of existing structures, lead to the need for an assessment of their remaining fatigue life, in order to decide on retrofit or structure replacement.
The lack of a correlation in our series may be related to the advanced age at follow-up and the consequent age-related incontinence of our cohort.
The mTOR signalling is involved in several age-related diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and neurodegeneration with a consequent important role in aging and lifespan control [ 58].
Indeed, mutations in genes encoding proteins involved in DNA repair, telomere conservation, heat shock response, and the management of free radicals' levels were found to contribute to longevity or, in case of reduced functionality, to accelerated senescence (cellular aging) and the consequent organism aging.
The human population is aging with a consequent rise in the incidence of hard tissue disease.
Whilst the presence of the screening van did not influence overall referrals, there was a shift in age distribution with a statistically significant increase in younger, prescreening women and a consequent decrease in older, screening-age women.
Considering a pronounced population aging process and consequent increase in the prevalence of dementia, the search for strategies to prevent or postpone the onset of diseases such as AD is necessary.
MSK diseases have a pronounced effect on disability level and independence in old age, with a consequent significant public health burden and impact on quality of later life.
