60's - (ANSWER)What age does late adulthood begin
True - (ANSWER)T/F: Late adulthood can be the longest age grouping in one's life if an
individual lives long enough
No, some adults have memory lapses which they describe as "senior moments" or "senility" -
(ANSWER)Do most older adults develop dementia?
To describe the loss of cognitive abilities due to Alzheimer's disease or stoke. - (ANSWER)What
do professionals use the terms dementia and neurocognitive disorder to describe?
Various diseases, severe drug and alcohol abuse, stroke or progressive deterioration cause by
variety of factors - (ANSWER)What can cause neruocognitive disorders?
False, not common for older adult or anyone to have these disorders - (ANSWER)T or F:
Neurocognitive disorders are a normal part of aging
False, they are very rare - (ANSWER)T/F: Neurocognitive disorders are very common prior to
age 60
- (ANSWER)T/F: Neurocognitive disorders numbers increases with age, so approx 50% of
individuals 85 and older have Neurocognitive disorders
Genetics and environment - men are more likely to engage in drug/alcohol abuse and care less
about overall health - (ANSWER)Why do women outlive men? Is it something that men do?
, There are cognitive changes that occur as adults age. Elders have trouble remembering the

(ANSWER)What is the wear and tear theory of aging?What does it not take into account
Includes phenomena known as Hayflick limit, states that humans adult cells have a limited
number of times they can divide. After cell division limit is reached, cells will begin to die.
Also includes free radical theory - (ANSWER)What is the cellular theories of aging?
Free radicals are harmful molecules that damage cells and DNA, which may be triggers by
environmental contaminants. Overtime free radical exposure can contribute to age related disease
like cataracts and arthritis.
This is cellular theory - (ANSWER)What is free radial theory of aging? Is it cellular theory or
programmed cell theory?
