Valentines and Vampires (Heart and Blood)
Most common cause of morbidity and mortality in the world
What is cardiovascular disease?
Etiology of increased flow resistance
Decreased intake is the result of these factors (2-3)
What are decreased tooth enamel and dentin?
What are decreased # of taste buds?
What is decreased esophageal motility?
Likely the result of iron depletion and increased fragility
What is slower erythrocytosis?
Result of decreased renal blood flow, sclerosis of glomerular capillaries, and glomerular hypertrophy
What is decreased elimination of drugs?
Reason for decreased Vit B12 absorption
What is decreased production of intrinsic factor?
The ability to compensate for BP with posture changes is decreased due to decreased ______activity
What is baroreceptor activity?
Changes contributing to urinary frequency, urgency, and nocturia
What are neurogenic and myogenic bladder changes?
What are meds?
Common dietary compensation made for decrease in # of fungiform papillae, receptor function and salivary secretion
What is more salt added (higher concentration of flavors required to taste)?
Increased demand for blood flow is not as easily accommodated because of this age-dependent change in the heart and vessels (3)
What is LVH, valvular calcification and arterial stiffening?
What is decreased gas exchange (d/t loss of alveolar tissue and capillary surface area?
Result of decreased gastric motility and secretions
What is impaired mucosal barrier of stomach?
Chronic inflammation contributes to the increase in these factors
What are factors, V, VII, IX and fibrinogen?
Reason glucose, bicarb, and sodium are not as efficiently reabsorbed in the kidneys
What is decreased tubular transport response?
Decreased GI absorption and renal reabsorption of this lead to hyperparathyroidism and an increased risk of cortical bone thinning and increased porosity
What is calcium?
