Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) aims to quantify the fractal correlation properties in nonstationary time series, and it has successfully been applied in the assessment of the Heart Rate Variability (HRV) for cardiac risk stratification purposes. However the physiological meaning of DFA indices and its relation with aging have not yet been completely established. Given that a loss of complexity...
We develop a method of magnetic resonance (MR) image analysis able to provide parameter(s) sensitive to bone microarchitecture changes in aging, and to osteoporosis onset and progression. The method has been built taking into account fractal properties of many anatomic and physiologic structures. Fractal lacunarity analysis has been used to determine relevant parameter(s) to differentiate among three...
We present a multifractal analysis of diurnal heart interbeat time series from healthy young subjects, healthy elderly subjects and patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). Aging and CHF causes loss of multifractality. We analyze the multifractal spectrum asymmetry. We show that the joint analysis of the degree of multifractality and the asymmetry parameter can differentiate between the cardiac...
