“…This association is due to the inevitable physiological processes of aging, such as declining basal metabolic rate, changes in body composition, and unhealthy lifestyle (Bechtold et al, 2006). While muscle mass decreases up to 40% from 20 to 70 years of age (Villareal et al, 2005), fat mass increases with the predominance of abdominal fat accumulation (Visser et al, 1998), and these aging-related changes lead to increasing intra-abdominal fat, specifically central obesity, which is associated with cardiovascular disease risk factors (Grinker et al, 1995;Bo et al, 2009). Management of metabolic syndrome in the elderly is difficult because co-management of multiple co-morbid conditions is often required (Bechtold et al, 2006).…”

“…More conclusive data are available about the age-associated changes in body composition. Muscle mass decreases up to 40% from 20 to 70 years of age [2] , fat mass increases with the predominance of abdominal fat accumulation [24] , and all of these aging-associated changes result in an increased prevalence of most of the metabolic and cardiovascular abnormalities contributing to the metabolic syndrome [21,25] . Fasting glucose, diabetes risk and systolic blood pressure values reveal a linear relationship with aging and the BMI [26] .…”

The metabolic syndrome is defined as a cluster of cardiometabolic risk factors which are related to insulin resistance. Beyond the importance of each separate risk factor, the aggregation of abdominal obesity, impaired glucose metabolism, dyslipidemia and hypertension, summarized as the metabolic syndrome, characterizes individuals with a significant increase in the risk for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In the prosperous countries of the world, the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome is about 20% in the adult population, and increases with increasing age, which is mainly attributed to the significant increase in overweight and obesity, also in elderly. Current data indicate that weight-loss therapy improves physical function, quality of life and the medical complications associated with obesity. This review summarizes epidemiologic data, diagnostic criteria and the clinical importance of the metabolic syndrome, the complex pathophysiologic mechanisms involved in the development of insulin resistance in elderly, and the various therapeutic options. According to these data the identification and treatment of patients with a metabolic syndrome would be an important approach to reduce morbidity and impairments in the elderly.

Biological control agents (BCAs) are considered as one of the most important strategies for controlling Fusarium wilt, and bioorganic fertilizer, in particular, has been extensively investigated. However, little is known regarding how a biocontrol microorganism affects the suppression mechanisms when combined with different amendments. In this study, a pot experiment was performed using banana plants to investigate the different mechanisms by which the biocontrol bacterium Bacillus velezensis HN03 (isolated from our laboratory) and amendments suppress Fusarium wilt. The incidence of banana wilt was decreased under HN03 and was reduced further when HN03 was combined with compost, particularly wormcast. In the suppression of Fusarium wilt, HN03 was found to influence the soil environment in various ways. HN03 increased the peroxidase level, which improves plant defense, and was highest when combined with wormcast, being 69 times higher than when combined with cow dung compost. The high accumulation of Mg and P in the “HN03 + wormcast” and Zn and Mn in the “HN03 + cow dung” treatments was negatively correlated with disease incidence. Furthermore, HN03 re-established the microbial community destroyed by the pathogen and further increased the level of suppression in the wormcast. HN03 also enhanced the functional traits of the soil, including defensive mechanism-related traits, and these traits were further enhanced by the combination of HN03 + wormcast.
