3rd Geriatrics and Healthcare Conference: For a better Aging Care

Can Eating Healthy Make You Look Younger? Skin reflects the general inner health status and aging. Throughout the centuries worldwide “Nutrition and its reflection on skin” has always been an interesting topic for scientists. Vitamins , flavonoids and a variety of plant extracts have anti-oxidant properties. These are  widely used in the skin care industry as applied agents or oral supplements  to increase skin appearance. Beauty comes from inside. Connection between nutrition and skin condition is an interesting field not only for scientists but also for humans throughout the years (from ancient times till date). Skin aging consists of two processes. ·     Intrinsic Skin Aging: Process that results in thin, dry skin, fine wrinkles, which represents progressive aging and affects skin in the same pattern as it affects all internal organs ·       Extrinsic Skin Aging: This process is engendered by external environment factors such as air pollution, smok...

  Can we Predict Heart Disease from the Skin Disorders? Different types of blood vessels like arteries, capillaries and veins make a network to carry blood from the heart and circulate it through the body. Blue, gray or purple skin is a sign of circulatory related issues. This usually occurs on the extremes like fingers and toes. Cardiovascular disorders and therapies are frequently accompanied with a variety of dermatologic signs. These signs can be used to facilitate a diagnosis of the underlying cardiac disease. Certain cardiac defects are correlated with single skin manifestations, like coarctation of atrioventricular (AV) septal .In some situations, the dermatologic manifestations comprise a component of a full systemic or vascular disorder that also entail defects in the cardiovascular system as another accompanying component . Signs to Predict  Heart Disease from Skin ·          Blue/purple color  or net-like pattern on y...

 Is Aging Impacted by Changes in Gut Microbiome? Aging is an underlying risk factor for various diseases. Gut microbiome plays an vital role in the development of chronic diseases. The human digestive tract is inhabited by various microorganisms. Gut microbiotas of healthy adults are   stable even for decades. In life even within 2 years after birth ,the gut microbiota seems to be maintained stable. Many compounds, either endogenous or exogenous, are known to modulate health and lifespan. Marmosets (small monkeys that live high up in the canopies of South American rainforests) are unique animal models that provides researchers an opportunity to estimate the relationship between changes in gut health and age-related health outcomes. With advancing age, the gut microbiota becomes more diverse and variable. Gut dysbiosis can trigger the innate immune response and chronic inflammation , resulting in unhealthy aging. The gut microbiota transmits with the host through various bio...

  Caregiving for the Elderly amid COVID 19 Older people face high risk of developing severe illness due to changes that come with aging and underlying health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, respiratory disease or hypertension are at greater risk of developing severe illness if infected with the virus. 1 in every 5 people who are infected with COVID-19 develops difficulty in breathing and requires hospital care.COVID-19 virus show impact on people of all ages.
