In the UK, lung cancer is primarily a disease of the elderly, with a peak incidence between the ages of 70 and 80 years (Cancer Research Campaign, 2001).
Ischemic colitis (IC) is the most common vascular disorder of gastrointestinal (GI) tract [ 1, 2] frequently seen in the elderly with a peak of incidence in the 7th decade [ 3].
In conclusion, we found that vaccination with ATIV reduced the risk of hospitalization for influenza or pneumonia in the elderly during the peak of the influenza season by 25% relative to vaccination with TIV.
Children <6 m and the elderly had the highest peak rates of P&I mortality.
To determine whether a 10-week supervised hip flexor stretching program in healthy elderly subjects would increase peak hip extension, stride length and gait speed and reduce anterior pelvic tilt during walking.
To determine whether a 10-week supervised hip flexor stretching program in frail elderly subjects would increase peak hip extension, stride length, and gait speed and reduce anterior pelvic tilt during comfortable and fast-paced walking.
The second age peak contains elderly native-born Dutch persons.
The disease affects middle-aged and elderly women with a peak incidence around 65 years and a female:male ratio of approximately 7 1 [ 3].
Especially with very elderly people the LF peak can shift significantly towards lower frequencies [ 14, 17] but, however, coexistence of two or more clear peaks on this frequency region has not been reported previously.
The odds of responding increased slightly in middle aged patients, then increased substantially in elderly patients to a peak at the ages 70-79, where the odds of responding were 5.54 times as high as for the reference group aged 18-29.
