There are several important changes in pharmacokinetics metabolism associated with aging that predispose the elderly to increased risk of druginduced side effects including cardiac arrhythmia.

First, advanced age is accompanied by a decrease in overall body weight, total body water, lean body mass, and intravascular volume, resulting in a greater volume of distribution (V d ), which is defined by the drug dose divided by drug plasma concentration (V d = dose/concentration). The reduced distribution volume will, therefore, lead to a higher drug concentration after a given dose in the elderly compared to the younger population. (more…)

There are many options of foods and supplements that we can choose to slow the aging process. Not only it helps maintain our youthful look, it helps us live a life of quality, as we advance in life.
