These results are complementary to data obtained
in elderly humans showing a positive effect of the pulse protein feeding pattern on nitrogen balance (5).
Physical activity is well known to
benefit elderly humans, but working out in a social setting with younger people seems to be especially valuable.
This finding has some practical implications for vaccination and could point the way to additives that could boost vaccine effectiveness
in elderly humans.

of elderly humans and atherosclerosis.
Fibroblasts (cells in connective tissue)
from elderly human donors are directly converted into induced neurons, shown.
None showed signs of diabetes, hypertension, or serious arthritis, the diseases the scientists focused on because they strike aged sheep just as they

Among elderly humans it is not unusual to have urinary incontinence especially those with certain cognitive deficits like Alzheimer's disease.
Small intestinal dysmotility, as evidenced by reduced migrating motor complex activity, is probably responsible for the prevalence of SIBO in
elderly human patients.
They generated an experimental model to investigate how one of the genes commonly mutated in blood cells
of elderly humans, TET2, affects plaque development.
The experiment is reminiscent of studies that aim to rejuvenate
the elderly humans and mice with blood transfusions from the young.
In
elderly humans, at least 5 % of the total cells in the body are thought to be senescent.
We postulated that for a reasonable and safe total daily intake of proteins, the pulse pattern could lead to a better efficiency of protein utilization in
elderly humans.

elderly humans.
Beginning at age 7, many pets will start to develop diseases similar to what we see in
elderly humans.
Winnie came to Homeward Bound when
her elderly human dad could no longer care for her.
