[Thyroid gland and the aging process of the men].

Changes in the anatomy of thyroid and age-related modifications in the regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis in aging men were described and reciprocal dependences with the cytokine network were also discussed. Pathophysiological role of the inflammatory cytokines in the promotion of thyroid dysfunctions, autoimmunological including were demonstrated. The modulating impact of environmental factors (micronutrient deficiencies, condiments) on thyroid metabolism was reported. The differences in symptomatology and therapy in thyroid dysfunction in elderly men were depicted. Furthermore the associations between thyroid status and gonadal as well as adrenal function were illustrated.

[Could progeria be a model for the natural process of aging?].

Acceleration of ageing of urban populations causes the urgent need to carry out research in this area. One of the proposed models of investigation may be progeria. The most frequent syndromes of progeria and the way they are inherited were described. Molecular mechanisms which have essential influence on premature ageing in progeria were discussed. Moreover, their analogies with natural biological process were presented.

[Current views on etiopathogenesis of aging].

Global aging of populations is demographic, sociologic and medical important phenomenon. In the paper a general demographic characteristic of aging in urbanized societies and a prognosis of changes were presented, Polish population including. Rate of aging is individual, but modified by environment factors. The historical review of the most important theories of aging and critical current estimation were discussed.
