Education is positively associated with macular pigment: the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA).
PURPOSE The three carotenoids lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin, are found at the macula and referred to as macular pigment (MP). This study was undertaken to investigate determinants of MP in a large randomly selected sample from the Republic of Ireland (as part of The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing [TILDA]). METHODS MP optical density (MPOD) was measured using customized heterochr...
متن کاملHealthy ageing: ageing safely.
The population of the developed world is steadily ageing. In the European Union, approximately 22% of persons are over 60 years of age and this is projected to increase to more than 27% by the year 2020. This has major implications for health care resources and the productive workforce. Ageing is accompanied by a decline in the physiological reserve of all organ systems, compromising homeostasi...
متن کاملAgeing and vascular ageing.
There is an age related decline in various physiological processes. Vascular ageing is associated with changes in the mechanical and the structural properties of the vascular wall, which leads to the loss of arterial elasticity and reduced arterial compliance. Arterial compliance can be measured by different parameters like pulse wave velocity, augmentation index, and systemic arterial complian...
متن کاملThinking positively
How to come up with numerical PD estimates if there are no default observations? Katja Pluto and Dirk Tasche propose a statistically based methodology to derive non-zero probabilities of default for credit portfolios with none or very few observed defaults. Their most prudent estimation principle delivers results for any desired degree of conservatism, and can be applied to both uncorrelated an...
متن کاملPositively-deflected anomaly mediation
We generalize the so-called “deflected anomaly mediation” scenario to the case where threshold corrections of heavy messengers to the sparticle squared-masses are positive. A concrete model realizing this scenario is also presented. The tachyonic slepton problem can be fixed with only a pair of messengers. The resultant sparticle mass spectrum is quite different from that in the conventional de...
