“…It is well-known that the pro-inflammatory response shows a progressive increase with an increase in age [ 48 , 49 ]. During inflammatory aging, the balance of the gut microbiota is gradually lost, and the composition and diversity of the gut microbiota are altered, causing chronic systemic low-level inflammation [ 50 , 51 , 52 ] and resulting in the deterioration of intestinal tissue function and an intensified inflammatory response of the body [ 53 ].…”

This study aimed to compare the regulatory effects of Arenga pinnata retrograded starch (APRS), Arenga pinnata starch (APS), and whole Arenga pinnata flour (APF) on gut microbiota and improvement of intestinal inflammation in aged mice. APF, APS, and APRS altered gut microbiota composition and exhibited different prebiotic effects. Bifidobacterium showed the greatest increase in feces of aged mice fed APF. The abundance of genus Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136 was highest in the APS group. APRS supplementation led to a greatest increasement in abundance of Lactobacillus, Roseburia, and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii. APRS induced significantly more short-chain fatty acid (SCFAs) production than APF and APS. APF, APS, and APRS treatments improved intestinal inflammation in aged mice and the order of ameliorative effect was APRS > APS > APF. APRS significantly decreased relative mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α) and increased anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10). In addition, APF, APS, and APRS significantly downregulated the relative mRNA expression of senescence-associated gene p53 and upregulated the expression of anti-aging gene Sirt1. These results provide potentially useful information about the beneficial effects of Arenga pinnata products on human health.

“…Nutritional status also plays a key role on healthy ageing [ 8 , 9 ]. Diet quality and quantity are declining in this age group, making the elderly a group at high risk of malnutrition [ 8 , 10 , 11 ] and mortality [ 11 ], endangering health status [ 9 , 12 , 13 , 14 ] and quality of life [ 13 ]. In fact, malnutrition in this age group can have both physical health consequences, such as increased risk of falls, and frailty [ 15 , 16 , 17 ] and mental health consequences, in regard to depression and cognitive decline [ 9 , 18 ]…”

Nutritional Status Is Associated with Health-Related Quality of Life, Physical Activity, and Sleep Quality: A Cross-Sectional Study in an Elderly Greek Population

This study aims to explore the associations between nutritional status and health-related quality of life, physical activity, and sleep quality in older exclusively Caucasian adults from Greec who were free of any severe disease. This is a cross-sectional study. Mini Nutritional Assessment was used to assess nutritional status, health-related quality of life was assessed using the Short Form Healthy Survey questionnaire, sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and physical activity levels were assessed via the International Physical Activity Questionnaire3405 community-dwelling men and women, over 65 years old from14 different Greek regions were enrolled. Ten-point four percent (10.4%) of the participants were classified as malnourished, while 35.6% were “at risk of malnutrition”. A better nutritional status was significantly and independently associated with higher physical activity levels (p = 0.0011) and better quality of life (p = 0.0135), as well as better sleep quality (p = 0.0202). In conclusion, our study highlights the interrelationships between a good nutritional status, a high-quality sleep, active lifestyle, and good quality of life. Further interventional studies are needed to clarify the associations, and test the feasibility of improving the nutritional status, physical activity levels and sleep quality of the elderly, and the impact of these changes on quality of life, and healthy ageing in races beyond Caucasian populations. Public health strategies and policies should be recommended to inform older adults for the necessity to improve their nutritional status and lifestyle habits to improve their health status and to obtain better life expectancy.

“…14 The life expectancy of humans is increasing worldwide. 15 Notably, elderly people have the fastest-growing population in Japan.

The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of delayed gastric emptying among the patients receiving laparoscopic distal gastrectomy, and to explore their clinical features and risk factors.Methods: Clinical data were collected for 223 patients who underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer. We retrospectively evaluated the clinicopathological features and analyzed the incidence of delayed gastric emptying among 223 patients. Delayed gastric emptying was diagnosed by patient's symptoms and the plane radiograph with an air fluid level and dilation of the remnant stomach. Results: Delayed gastric emptying was found in five (2.2%) of the 223 patients.By univariate logistic regression analysis, greater American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status (ASA-PS) and older age were significantly related to occurrence of delayed gastric emptying. By multivariate logistic regression analysis, older age was independently significantly related to incident delayed gastric emptying. The area under the curve (AUC) ((95% CI) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was 0.842 (0.561-0.957). The best cutoff for discriminating patients with and without delayed gastric emptying was 80 years (sensitivity 80% and specificity 83%). Conclusion:Our study found the occurrence of delayed gastric emptying is possibly correlated with age. Therefore, careful perioperative observation in elderly patients may possibly be important for possible development of delayed gastric emptying after laparoscopic distal gastrectomy.
