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