Diabetes, Aging, and Management Strategies: Cellular Mechanisms for Healthy Aging (PDF)

by Younis Ahmad Hajam PhD (ed.), Rajesh Kumar PhD (ed.), Ajmal Rashid Bhat PhD (ed.)

Diabetes, Aging, and Management Strategies: Cellular Mechanisms for Healthy Aging is a comprehensive guide that explores the complex interplay between diabetes and the aging process. The book dives deeply into the scientific mechanisms underlying diabetes and aging, offering insights into how aging accelerates disease processes and affects metabolic pathways, organ function, and overall health. With a focus on the biological, clinical, and practical aspects of diabetes in the elderly, this book provides actionable information on the pathophysiology of diabetes in aging individuals, evidence-based mitigation strategies, and effective management approaches.
As populations worldwide grow older, the prevalence of diabetes continues to rise, presenting new challenges in understanding, managing, and mitigating the effects of this condition on older adults. This book is designed to support healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers in creating and implementing strategies that address the unique needs of this population.

Explores how physiological changes due to aging (e.g., insulin resistance, changes in β-cell function) contribute to the onset and progression of diabetes
Describes how metabolic dysfunctions and aging interact to worsen the outcomes of diabetes
Includes Molecular and cellular mechanisms, such as oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction, that link diabetes with accelerated aging
Provides practical tools and resources for effective diabetes management in older adults
