    Gender and Residency Effects on Elderly Health in Turkey
    (2014) Basara, Berrak Bora; Mollahaliloglu, Salih; Pulgat, Erman; Kavuncubasi, Sahin; Q-2805-2018
    The proportion of the elderly population grows not only in Turkey but also in the whole world due to reduced fertility rate and extended life expectancy. While 65 age and over population quintile constituted only 4.3 % of the total population in 1990, the proportion of the elderly population raised to 7.2% as of late 2010. This study is based on the data collected from total 1,540 respondents at 65 ages and over who were interviewed in the Health Interview Survey 2008. Main aim of this study is providing a description of the socio-demographic characteristics of the elderly population and investigating the gender and residential effects on their daily activities and presence of chronic diseases. Both being an elder female and living in rural areas are found to be significant risk factors for some certain diseases. Additionally, both elder females and elder population living in rural areas assess their health poorer than males and those in urban areas, respectively. Therefore, defining policies especially focusing on difficulties of women and elders in rural areas seems to be a necessity. In order to increase quality of life of overall elderly population, attaching further importance to the elderly care services, establishing more facilities and employing more personnel might be considered as precautions.

    Age- and Gender-Related Variability in Nasal Tip Support
    (2020) Koycu, Alper; Erol, Ozan; Buyuklu, Fuat Adnan; Jafarov, Sabuhi; Berker, Sinem; 0000-0003-1528-0036; 0000-0003-1290-3509; 0000-0002-7302-4199; 31834522; W-5941-2018; AAF-3650-2021; AAI-8044-2021
    Background The age at which nasal tip support changes start to occur is unknown. Evaluation of nasal tip support is difficult, especially as the ideal nasal tip support pressure remains elusive. The aim of this study is to determine the nasal tip support pressure alterations relative to age and sex. Objectives The aim of this study is to determine the changers in resistance of the nasal tip support in relation to age and sex. Methods This prospective clinical study was conducted between January and April 2019 at a tertiary health facility. Nasal tip resistances were measured in four different age-groups (20-29, 30-39, 40-64, and > 65 years) with a digital Newton meter. A total of 159 patients with a minimum of 36 patients per group were included in the study. Nasal tip resistance measurements were compared among nasal tip displacement distances of 2, 3, and 4 mm, focusing on age and sex. Results The nasal tip resistance of the 20-29 age-group was significantly higher at 2, 3, and 4 mm nasal tip displacement distances, when compared with the 30-39 and 40-64 age-groups, whereas compared to the > 65 years group, it was significantly higher at 3 and 4 mm nasal tip displacement distances (p < 0.005). Nasal tip resistance of males was found to be significantly higher than that of females, at 3 and 4 mm nasal tip displacement distances (p < 0.001). Conclusions Nasal tip resistance is higher in males and universally decreases significantly after 30 years of age while remaining constant at later ages. Therefore, surgeons should prefer nasal tip resistance increasing techniques in the rhinoplasty operations that are performed on patients even from early years of age, in order to maintain and strengthen the nasal tip resistance.
