COLLECTION COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
◉ aging is the result of predictable cellular death; 3 theories: 1.
immunity theory 2. neuroendocrine control theory 3. gene theory.
Answer: programmed theories of aging
◉ aging is a programmed accumulation of decline in function of
immune system resulting from oxidative stress.
Answer: immunity theory of aging
◉ aging is a programmed decline in functioning of nervous,
endocrine, immune systems; cells lose abililty to reproduce.
Answer: neuroendocrine theory of aging
◉ longevity associated with genetic trait; "juvenescent" = youthful
vigor/mature adult well-being; "senescent" = functional
decline/structural deterioration.
Answer: gene theory of aging
,◉ aging is a result of accumulation of random errors in the synthesis
of cellular DNA and RNA; 3 theories: 1. oxidative 2. cross-linkage 3.
wear and tear.
Answer: errors theories of aging
◉ free radical theory; errors are a result of random damage from
free radicals.
Answer: oxidative stress theory
◉ aging is product of accumulated damage from errors associated
with stiffened cross-linked proteins.
Answer: cross-linkage theory
◉ cell errors result of deterioration over time due to overuse.
Answer: wear and tear theory
◉ In animal models, calorie restriction increased the life span and
the health of animals.
Answer: calorie restriction theory
◉ 1. activity theory 2. disengagment theory 3. role theory 4.
continuity theory 5. age stratification theory 6. subculture theory.
Answer: 6 sociological theories of aging
, ◉ continued activity is an indicator of successful aging.
Answer: activity theory
◉ during aging, individual slowly withdraws from former roles and
activities.
Answer: disengagement theory
◉ ability of individual to adapt to changing roles.
Answer: role theory
◉ personality remains consistent; personality influences role
activity and life satisfaction.
Answer: continuity theory
◉ relationship between age as an element of social structure; aging
people as one cohort.
Answer: age stratification theory
◉ older people have their own norms, habits, beliefs; interact better
among peers than with other age groups.
Answer: subculture theory
