The effect of agingon renal function
Physiology - $200
Decreased
• Renal function decreases with aging.• Glomerular filtration rate decreases about 1%
per year after age 30.• Urine concentrating ability also decreases
Physiology - $200The effect of aging on renal function
The effect of agingon resting heart rate
Physiology - $400
Decreased
• Normal aging results in:– decreased resting heart rate
– decreased maximum predicted heart rate with exercise
– decreased VO2 Max and maximum CO with exercise
• Cardiac output remains normal at rest largely related to increased stroke volume
Physiology - $400The effect of aging on resting heart rate
This physiologic effect is the result of eating a large
meal and is associated with drowsiness and unsteady
balance.

Post-prandial Hypotension
• Post-prandial hypotension (orthostatic hypotension) often follows a large meal, presumably as a result of shift in blood flow from the periphery to the mesenteric bed and can be an important cause of falls
Physiology - $600This physiologic effect is the result of eating alarge meal and is associated with drowsinessand unsteady balance
The effect of aging on gastric acid secretion
Physiology - $800
None
• Until recently it was widely thought that gastric secretion diminished as a result of normal aging processes. Recent studies, excluding those with atrophic gastritis, smoking and H.pilori have shown no change in acid secretion with aging.
Physiology - $800The effect of aging on gastric acid secretion
The effect of aging on collagen
Physiology - $1000
a10a
Increased Crosslinking
• Aging results in abnormal collagen and elastin metabolism. The result is increased collagen crosslinking which may explain decreased tensile strength, fragility, tissue strains and tears.
• Elastin also undergoes increased cross linking and results in decreased elastic recoil in skin and other tissues.
Physiology - $1000The effect of aging on collagen
Term for multiple drug use in elderly people associated
with increased risk for adverse drug reactions
Pharmacology - $200
Polypharmacy
• The risk of adverse drug events in elderly people rises with number of medications. ADR’s occur in 4% of those taking 5 drugs; 10% in those taking 6-10 drugs; 28% in those taking 11-15 drugs and 54% in those taking 16 or more drugs.

Drug commonly used to treat congestive heart failure in
therapeutic doses can cause anorexia, delirium and
depression
Pharmacology - $600
Digoxin
• Digoxin even with normal therapeutic drug levels can cause anorexia, delirium and depression in elderly people.

The effect of aging on adipose tissue
Pharmacology - $800
b8a
Increased
• Aging is associated with an increase in fat/lean body weight ration. Muscle mass tends to decrease and fat tends to increase. This effect can have a significant effect on drug distribution and elimination.
