Does interindividual variability of saliva affect the release and metabolization of aroma compounds ex vivo? The particular case of elderly suffering…

2019

The aim of this work was to study the effects of interindividual variability of human elderly saliva on aroma release and metabolization by ex vivo approaches. Thirty individuals suffering or not from hyposalivation were selected from a panel formed by 110 elderly people (aged >65 years old) that were matched by age and sex. Then, their stimulated saliva samples were independently incubated in presence of three aroma compounds (ethyl hexanoate, octanal, 2-nonanone) to perform headspace-gas chromatography and liquid/liquid extraction-gas chromatography mass spectrometry analyses. These assays revealed that the extent of saliva effect on the release and metabolization of aroma compounds was h…

Strength Training Decreases Inflammation and Increases Cognition and Physical Fitness in Older Women with Cognitive Impairment.

2017

International audience; Introduction: Cognitive impairment that affects older adults is commonly associated with an inflammatory imbalance, resulting in decreased physical fitness. Exercise has been pointed to mitigate immunosenescence and cognitive impairment associated with aging, while increase in physical fitness. However, few studies explored the relationship between changes in cytokine concentration and improvement on cognition due to elastic band strength training. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of strength training on pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines, hematological markers and physical fitness of older women with cognitive impairment. Methods: Thirty-three w…

Le corps vécu chez la personne âgée et la personne handicapée

2010

Consacre a l’experience du corps vecu chez les personnes en situation de dependance, ainsi qu’aux representations qui peuvent conduire a l’obliterer, cet ouvrage comporte une part non negligeable de temoignages. Il s’agit de stimuler la reflexion sur la difference entre l’experience reelle des personnes et celle qu’on leur prete. L’etude du handicap et du vieillissement permet par ailleurs d’interroger les limites de notre tolerance, et de l’experience meme que nous faisons de notre propre corps : comment definirions-nous notre propre intimite ? notre autonomie ?Le corps vecu tel que nous l’eprouvons n’est en effet pas reductible a la connaissance anatomique et physiologique que nous en don…

Prolongation du séjour hospitalier dans un service de gériatrie aiguë : identification et analyse des causes

2016

International audience; In France, the population of very old frail patients, who require appropriate high-quality care, is increasing. Given the current economic climate, the mean duration of hospitalization (MDH) needs to be optimized. This prospective study analyzed the causes of prolonged hospitalization in an acute geriatric care unit. Over 6 months, all patients admitted to the target acute geriatric care unit were included and distributed into two groups according to a threshold stay of 14 days: long MDH group (LMDHG) and short MDH group (SMDHG). These two groups were compared. 757 patients were included. The LMDHG comprised 442 with a mean age of 86.7 years, of whom 67.65% were wome…

Évaluation de la prescription des antalgiques de palier II chez la personne âgée de 75 ans en médecine générale

2017

Although step-2 analgesics (S2A) are recommended when step-1 analgesics (S1A) are ineffective or in cases of moderate to severe pain, their efficacy varies. This study evaluated the place attributed by general practitioners (GPs) to S2A in the treatment of nociceptive pain in elderly persons (EP). Descriptive, transversal and declarative study conducted among GPs in Burgundy. In total, 115 GPs took part in the survey. Among these, 60.8% had at least one consultation/day for pain. After paracetamol, which was systematically preferred, 56.4% prescribed S2A for EP. The reasons for prescribing S2A included pain not relieved by S1A in 93% of cases, another medical treatment or not (42.6%), or th…

Home delivery meal : issue and impact of this service on the nutritional status of older people living at home

2021

Introduction. In old age, the onset of disabilities (physical, cognitive) can lead older adults to have difficulty doing certain tasks of daily life, particularly those related to alimentation (shopping, meal preparation). To alleviate these difficulties, more and more elderly people are using home delivery meal services. The objective of this thesis is to question the place and role of such services in preventing undernutrition in the elderly population. Undernutrition is common in this population and results from an imbalance between nutritional intake and needs. Materials and methods. In this thesis, several approaches were combined. A systematic literature review documented the undernut…

Salivary properties involved in astringency sensitivity in human differ as a function of age

2022

Astringency is an important sensory characteristic of foods and beverages containing polyphenols. However, astringency perception in elderly people is not documented. Current hypothesis on astringency mechanism involved aggregation of the mucosal pellicle by tannins and its protective role by salivary proteins in particular proline rich-proteins (PRPs). The aim of the present work was to evaluate sensitivity to astringency in function of age and saliva (flow and composition). Fifty-four panelists including (30 elderlies and 24 young) participated in this study. Astringency was evaluated by 2-Alternative Forced Choice procedure. For salivary PRPs, a western blot methodology was set up to eva…
