With the advancement of medicine and improvement in the quality of life is leading to an increase in the group of older people in our society. The majority of the elder people around 60 to 70 % are independent, 30% are classified as fragile or at risk, and only 3% are adults greater bedridden or disabled. As we exceed 65 there is an increase in the probability that functionality of humans will start showing its limitation. Before discussing the characteristics of the aging process, and the main theories to apply, it is important to distinguish between physiological aging and diseases related to aging. The aging phenomenon is multifactorial, which affects all levels of biological organization, from molecules to physiological systems. Life expectancy

We all need theory in our life because it explains why we all live as aging organisms. There are many different types of theories, two that we learned in class are programmed and error theories. Programmed theories define how aging is all about evolution, it is not biology. If aging was about biology we all would live forever and not die. The system aging and death are in your body when you are born. However, aging is related to biology for example, how biology can increase one body’s susceptibility disease. As older people age, many things change either biologically or psychologically. Theories are made the way you live your life; such as much other development and social theories come in handy too. The society theories show older adults how they influence the society. The older people who would age at a young age would show stress, illness, and not being healthy. This fell into two different categories such as traditional developmental theories. Modernization is a traditional theory where older adults refuse to be more modern. This is related to the technical process where elders should change their way of living. The purpose if this theory would be that it would help elders to be around the same people and not be stressed out because of what problems they might have. Continuity theory is good for elders, it is a pattern to keep your life healthy while living with family going …show more content…
The behavior changes and links to having changes in your life. The relevance to those who work with older adults is advocated by nurses, doctors, and families. Programs such as living assistance homes and nursing homes are places for aged people to live. However, I believe people who work with older adults see a lot of differences between each other. They all have different stories such as the study case we studied in class. Mrs. K who could not take care of herself and she needed the assistance to live her life. The individuals who do not live with their family members, there shall be programs where they would not result from damage over the time living alone. Activates should be planned out. Aging adults should be treated the same way as dropping your child off at the daycare. This quality of the programs would really help many people who age.
Genetic Programming/Biological clock The cells of all living things age from the moment that are produced, although a rhythm and different characteristics for each species and for each individual of the same species. They have been around 200 theories of aging describing complex molecular processes to metaphysical explanations of the "reasons of being." The truth is that the precise mechanisms which causes aging are still a mystery
