Sarcopenia (ICD-10-CM code M62.84 [1]) is a type of muscle loss that occurs with aging and/or immobility. It is characterized by the degenerative loss of skeletal muscle mass, quality, and strength. The rate of muscle loss is dependent on exercise level, co-morbidities, nutrition and other factors.
A 46% decrease in spine number and spine density has been reported in humans older than 50 compared with younger individuals. [12] An electron microscopy study in monkeys reported a 50% loss in spines on the apical dendritic tufts of pyramidal cells in prefrontal cortex of old animals (27–32 years old) compared with young ones (6–9 years ...
Vascular dementia is the second-most-common form of dementia after Alzheimer's disease in older adults. [4] The prevalence of the illness is 1.5% in Western countries and approximately 2.2% in Japan.
During that time, bears go through a series of physiological, morphological, and behavioral changes. [33] Their ability to maintain skeletal muscle number and size during disuse is of significant importance. [citation needed] During hibernation, bears spend 4–7 months of inactivity and anorexia without undergoing muscle atrophy and protein ...
Age-related memory loss, sometimes described as "normal aging" (also spelled "ageing" in British English), is qualitatively different from memory loss associated with types of dementia such as Alzheimer's disease, and is believed to have a different brain mechanism.

Brain ischemia has been linked to a variety of diseases or abnormalities. Individuals with sickle cell anemia, compressed blood vessels, ventricular tachycardia, plaque buildup in the arteries, blood clots, extremely low blood pressure as a result of heart attack, and congenital heart defects have a higher predisposition to brain ischemia in comparison to the average population.
