Effect of ageing on tactile transduction processes
2014, Ageing Research ReviewsCitation Excerpt :In cross-sectional studies, differences between adult and old individuals have often been based on comparisons of only two experimental groups. Multiple time points should be favoured to take into account the life span, as previously pointed out (Coleman et al., 1990), since evaluation at multiple age points demonstrated that most of the age-related changes are not linear throughout life (Bouche et al., 1993; Ceballos et al., 1999; Verdu et al., 2000). Both types of studies are observational, not mechanistic, thus promoting the use of experimental models.
Pain and Aging: The Emergence of a New Subfield of Pain Research
2009, Journal of PainCitation Excerpt :For instance, because of small sample sizes, some studies simply may not have the power to detect subtle differences that may exist. As well, comparisons across only 2 age groups or time points cannot detect nonlinear change.20 Nonetheless, the uniqueness of geriatric pain may be challenged when multiple studies consistently report a lack of differences between age groups.
