AbstractIt has been argued whether a transfer policy for elderly people should be in kind or in cash. This paper presents a rationale to answer the question in an endogenous growth model with a two-way intrafamily transfer in middle age, education for the child as an inter-vivos transfer, and informal parental care in exchange for a bequest. We have two analytical results. First, a transfer in cash, such as a public pension, prevents economic growth because a strategic behavior concerning caregiving generates a disincentive effect on education. Second, a transfer in kind, such as public formal care, promotes economic growth because the valuation of the service generates an additional benefit of education, which dominates the disincentive effect. Our results show that old age support should be in kind rather than in cash in the context of economic growth and also welfare if bequests are strategic.

Three Dimensions

An investigation of attitudes toward typical and ideal old age was carried out with seventy-eight undergraduate students. Half of the participants responded to semantic differential scales for typical and ideal old age and half to middle age stimulus objects. The scales were analyzed in terms of three dimensions produced in previous research. No difference was found between the middle and old age conditions for the personal acceptability dimension but differences were found for both the autonomous-dependent and instrumental-ineffective dimensions. The old and middle age objects were rated alike at ideal but the old age object was rated less autonomous and less instrumental at typical.

Abstract Background Welfare regimes in Europe modify individuals’ socioeconomic trajectories over their life-course, and, ultimately, the link between socioeconomic circumstances (SECs) and health. This paper aimed to assess whether the associations between life-course SECs (early-life, young adult-life, middle-age and old-age) and risk of poor self-rated health (SRH) trajectories in old age are modified by welfare regimes (Scandinavian [SC], Bismarckian [BM], Southern European [SE], Eastern European [EE]). Methods We used data from the longitudinal SHARE survey. Early-life SECs consisted of four indicators of living conditions at age 10. Young adult-life, middle-age, and old-age SECs indicators were education, main occupation and satisfaction with household income, respectively. The association of life-course SECs with poor SRH trajectories was analysed by confounder-adjusted multilevel logistic regression models stratified by welfare regime. We included 24 011 participants (3626 in SC, 10 256 in BM, 6891 in SE, 3238 in EE) aged 50 to 96 years from 13 European countries. Results The risk of poor SRH increased gradually with early-life SECs from most advantaged to most disadvantaged. The addition of adult-life SECs differentially attenuated the association of early-life SECs and SRH at older age across regimes: education attenuated the association only in SC and SE regimes and occupation only in SC and BM regimes; satisfaction with household income attenuated the association across regimes. Conclusions Early-life SECs have a long-lasting effect on SRH in all welfare regimes. Adult-life SECs attenuated this influence differently across welfare regimes.

ABSTRACTGlia show region-specific distribution in CNS and often mal-adapt to age-associated alterations in their niche. Some studies on autopsied nigra of Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients and experimental models propose gliosis as a putative trigger of neuronal loss. Epidemiological studies propose an ethnic bias in PD prevalence, as Caucasians are more susceptible than non-whites. Similarly, different mice strains are variably sensitive to MPTP. We had earlier likened divergent MPTP-sensitivity of C57BL/6J and CD-1 mice with differential susceptibility to PD based on differences in neuronal numbers.Here we examined whether the variability was also incumbent to inter-strain differences in glial features. Stereological counts showed more microglia and fewer astrocytes in the nigra of MPTP-susceptible normal C57BL/6J mice, suggesting persistence of an immune-vigilant state. Pronounced MPTP-induced microgliosis and astrogliosis in both strains suggest glial involvement in pathogenesis. ELISA-based estimation of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the ventral midbrain revealed middle-age specific augmentation of TNF-α and IL-6 that reduced at old-age, suggesting middle-age as a critical, inflamm-aging associated time-point. IL-1β levels declined gradually. Inter-strain differences in TNF-α, including that seen post-MPTP, persisted across ageing while IL-6 and IL-1β showed upregulation at old-age. Levels of anti-inflammatory cytokine TGF-β were higher in CD-1. The enzymes MAO-A, MAO-B and iNOS were upregulated in both strains upon MPTP-challenge. Enhancement in fracktalkine and hemeoxygenase-1, post-MPTP, may be neuronal compensatory signals. Most importantly, ultrastructural observations of elongated glial mitochondria vis-à-vis the shrunken ones in neurons, suggest upscaling of glial functions with neurotoxic consequences. Thus, glia could be key modulators of ageing and disease-susceptibility.Significance statementPeople of Caucasians ancestry are more susceptible to Parkinson’s disease, than the Asians, for reasons not completely understood. Surprisingly, their admixed population “the Anglo-Indians” that lives in India; are much less prone. We designed a disease model around two different laboratory mice i.e. C57BL/6 and CD-1 mice and extrapolated the results to the ethnicities, using a neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine(MPTP). Our study provides objective evidence that astroglia are inherently more and microglia fewer in the mice that resist MPTP. They secret low levels of neuroinflammatory proteins and their gut microbiota is typical. The glial mitochondria may hold the key to cure neurodegeneration.Data availability statementThe data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon request.

Female Reproductive System

The most common tumour in female reproductive system is uterine myoma. The high risk of development of uterine myoma is age. Early middle age woman (ages 35-44) is period of age beyond young adulthood but before the onset of old age. In this period of age, uterine myoma is very common.This study used a qualitative method. Women diagnosed with uterine myoma participated in this study. To collect data, observation and interview were needed. The conclusion of this study will prove the risk of development of uterine myoma in early middle age woman.
