“…However, when the LVM indexed by height is stratified by sex (Fig. 2), it is observed that the correlation between these variables in men disappears (r = 0.17), with a significant correlation (r = 0.47; p<0.05) being kept among women, data also reported by Hangartner et al 28 . No correlation between RVM and age or height was observed.…”

“…The RVM was similar in all studies. A significant difference was observed in LVM of men in our sample when compared to the data from London 28 and probably with the study carried out in the USA 26 . for men and 104 g/m 2 for women).…”

“…Therefore, the present study fills a gap regarding data on the Brazilian population. Studies such as those by Hangartner et al 28 and Corradi et al 33 (Table 2) used a methodology that was similar to ours. There is a difference of around 10% regarding the LVM reported by Hangartner et al 28 and that of our sample.…”

“…In the heart, the only genuine and age-related change is an increase by approximately 30% in left ventricular wall thickness, caused by hypertrophy rather than hyperplasia (HANGARTNER et al, 1985). Cardiac muscle cells do not have the ability to divide, they are post-mitotic cells that should last throughout the individual's life.…”

This review is an attempt to compile current knowledge on concepts and transformations that occur naturally in the human body and that characterize what is defined today as biological aging with quality of life and longevity. Many authors define natural aging as a continuous and uninterrupted process, which occurs in the human body causing structural and functional changes, classified as: cumulative, progressive, intrinsic and deleterious (CUPID). Usually these changes begin early in life and culminate in physical death. Genetic, chemical and biochemical changes lead to progressive degeneration of cells, tissues and organs, body systems and the organism as a whole, leading to loss of structures and functions due to aging. All these changes were discussed in some detail in the review here presented. We concluded that aging is not genetically determined, resulting in the accumulation of cellular and tissue damage, particularly in chromatin and DNA within cells, in addition to structural and bioactive proteins that command the general metabolism. Environmental factors such as feeding (nutrition) and lifestyle were also discussed. Keywords: Biological aging; CUPID; Natural aging; Progressive degeneration. ResumoEsta revisão é uma tentativa de compilação do conhecimento atual sobre conceitos e transformações que ocorrem naturalmente no corpo humano e que caracterizam o que se define, hoje, como envelhecimento biológico saudável, com qualidade de vida e longevidade. Vários autores definem envelhecimento natural como um processo contínuo e ininterrupto, que ocorre no corpo humano provocando mudanças estruturais e funcionais, qualificadas como cumulativas, progressivas, intrínsecas e deletérias (CUPID). Normalmente, essas alterações começam muito cedo na vida e culminam na morte física. Mudanças de natureza genética, química e bioquímica conduzem a degradações progressivas das células, dos tecidos e órgãos, dos sistemas e do organismo como um todo, promovendo, com a idade, perdas de estruturas e funções. Todas estas alterações foram discutidas, em algum detalhe, ao longo da revisão apresentada. Concluiu-se que o envelhecimento não é geneticamente programado, resultando no acúmulo de danos celulares e teciduais, particularmente na cromatina e no DNA, no interior das células, e nas proteínas estruturais e bioativas, que comandam o metabolismo geral. Fatores ambientais, como alimentação (nutrição) e estilo de vida, também foram discutidos. Alimentos, Av.

The knowledge regarding normal physical measurement of heart is very important for proper diagnosis and management of various cardiac diseases. Heart disease is a predominant cause of disability and death among all industrialized nations. This study is to establish a standard data of different external parameters of heart of adult Bangladeshi population. The study was conducted at Department of Anatomy, Sir Salimullah Medical College, Dhaka from July 2009 to December 2009. The formalin fixed cadaveric 60 (sixty) (n=60) human hearts, 41 (forty one) male and 19 (nineteen) female were taken. The length, breadth and weight of the heart were measured and the data was analyzed statistically. The mean value of the length of the heart in male was 10.35±0.62 cm and female was 10.22±0.90 cm. The mean value of the breadth of the heart was 7.45±0.73 cm and 7.35±0.65 cm in male and female respectively. The mean value of the weight of the heart was 174.15±15.49 gm in male, where as for female the mean was 171.58±19.16 gm. The comparison of values of above mentioned variables between male and female were done by unpaired students test and it was statistically not significant.University Heart Journal Vol. 10, No. 2, July 2014; 78-80
