the faster one lives, the sooner one ages and dies.
Rate of Living Theory
reside in the rural areas, HOW MANY PERCENT?

links aging to failure of body mechanisms to adapt to stress.

Prioritizing parents care can ease pain and worry, but might impact their health.
Physical effects
Men outnumbered women. TRUE or FALSE

describes aging as the cumulative effects of stresses of living.
Stress Theory
3 THEORIES OF AGING
Biochemical Aging theory
Physiological Aging theory
Psychosocial Development theory
traditional definition of “elderly”
60 YEARS
refers to people old-old usually with health problems
FRAIL ELDER
old adult
75 AND OLDER
exposure to low dose of radiation accelerates the aging process
Somatic mutation theory
Some people reflect on what makes them feel good for caring for their parents.
They revel in the moments with loved ones that increase their sense of self-worth and they end up creating closer bonds with both the older and younger generations.
Positive effects
withdrawal from the role characteristic of middle age, socialization and related activities
Disengagement Theory
changes occurring in cells age and damage cellular metabolism.
Wear and Tear Theory
Caring for aging parents often means extra costs related to home health care, medical expenses not covered by insurance and extra insurance premiums for services such as long-term care.
Financial effects
2 PHYSIOLOGICAL AGING THEORIES
Stress Theory
Adaptation Theory
Since the beginning of recorded history, elders have outnumbered children. TRUE OR FALSE
false: Children outnumbered Elders
Aging is a developmental process:
Starts at birth
Gradual changes in body structures and systems
We all experience
Not all changes at same rate and same impact
Changes can impact function, participation and equality of life
assumes that the same norms exist for all mature individuals. The degree to which individuals “act like” or “look like”
Activity Theory
waste accumulation or garbage accumulation
Waste Theory
