It is important to note that less than five percent of patients enrolled in this study are over age 80 and, although these patients are also randomized to the intervention, this old-old age group (eg, Rose et al 2004) will be separately analyzed at the end of the study period.
Even if those scientists are wrong -- medical history is filled with failed promises of just this sort -- the experience of old, old age, whatever its furthest reach, will no doubt change in the coming years.
Therefore, more research in older individuals is urgently needed, before the CKD-EPI can be implemented in clinical practice for the oldest old age categories.
Third, the sample size of the oldest old (age 80+), who tend to need the most care, was limited and therefore under-represented in previous studies.
For the "oldest old age" sample (Sample-OO), all individuals aged ≥ 85 years in Seongnam-si (3,136 persons) were contacted by letter and telephone, and 302 agreed to participate in the KLoSHA.
Old old age ain't for sissies.
We are a group of women verging on old, old age.
The rise of old, old age will also have more intimate, less easily quantifiable implications.
Is it possible to imagine old, old age as an idyll?
Bob Kagan Narberth, Pa., Dec. 31, 2010 To the Editor: Susan Jacoby's description of "old old" age is accurate and realistic.
Researchers at the Danish Aging Research Center at the University of Southern Denmark suggested that those born in developed countries could now be considered to have four stages of life -- child, adult, young old age and old old age.
