Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how the proteins α-Klotho and FGF-23 relate to bone health and density in elderly individuals aged around 85.6 years.
- A total of 55 participants were analyzed through clinical and biochemical tests, revealing that many had low bone density (osteopenia) and vitamin D deficiency.
- The findings indicated no significant links between α-Klotho and FGF-23 levels and bone density, suggesting these proteins may not influence bone health in this age group.
Background: Leprosy has a global presence; more than 180 thousand new cases were registered in 2013, 15% of which were found in the Americas. The elderly are a very susceptible demographic in terms of developing illnesses, mainly because of characteristics natural to the senescence of the human organism. This study's goals were to analyze leprosy in an elderly population from a hyperendemic region of the Brazilian Amazon in a historical series from 2004 to 2013 and to determine the clinical and epidemiological profile of a series of leprosy cases of elderly people in the period spanning from 2009 to 2013.
