    Clonal chromosomal mosaicism and loss of chromosome Y in elderly men increase vulnerability for SARS-CoV-2

    The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19) had an estimated overall case fatality ratio of 1.38% (pre-vaccination), being 53% higher in males and increasing exponentially with age. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, we found 133 cases (1.42%) with detectable clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations (mCA) and 226 males (5.08%) with acquired loss of chromosome Y (LOY). Individuals with clonal mosaic events (mCA and/or LOY) showed a 54% increase in the risk of COVID-19 lethality. LOY is associated with transcriptomic biomarkers of immune dysfunction, pro-coagulation activity and cardiovascular risk. Interferon-induced genes involved in the initial immune response to SARS-CoV-2 are also down-regulated in LOY. Thus, mCA and LOY underlie at least part of the sex-biased severity and mortality of COVID-19 in aging patients. Given its potential therapeutic and prognostic relevance, evaluation of clonal mosaicism should be implemented as biomarker of COVID-19 severity in elderly people. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, individuals with clonal mosaic events (clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations and/or loss of chromosome Y) showed an increased risk of COVID-19 lethality

    Las actividades físico-recreativas y deportivas son de suma importancia en la tercera edad, con el proceso de envejecimiento el adulto mayor sufre cambios a nivel físico, psíquico y social, ya que a la vez estas actividades tienen un papel fundamental que es el mantenimiento, mejoramiento de su salud y el bienestar del adulto mayor o sea mejorar su estilo de vida. Se realiza una propuesta de actividades físico recreativas para la tercera edad Que tiene como objetivo principal proponer un grupo de actividades físico-recreativas y deportivas en función de lograr un mejor estilo de vida del adulto mayor perteneciente al Consultorio Médico No. 40 de la Circunscripción No 183 del Consejo Popular Hermanos Cruz del Municipio Pinar del Río, motivado esto por el diagnóstico realizado que nos demostró la existencia de dificultades para la ocupación del tiempo libre de los ancianos de la comunidad ya mencionada
