Blood in the Aged

  • Chapter
Geriatrics 2

Abstract

Bone marrow gradually diminishes in volume, starting after adolescence. Its involution is particularly marked in the presenile (45–60) and senile age (over 60). The haemopoietic tissue is reduced and replaced by fat and connective tissue, which is increased also in order to compensate the enlargement of the bone inner space, due to osteoporosis.
