BIOLOGICAL THEORIES OF AGING
•Wear and Tear Theory • states that aging occurs because of the
system simply wearing out over time
•Autoimmune Theory • hypothesis that aging is a function of the body’s immune system becomes
defective, producing antibodies
against itself

BIOLOGICAL THEORIES OF AGING II
•Cross-linkage Theory •focuses on the changes in the
protein called collagen with age

BIOLOGICAL THEORIES OF AGING III
Free-radical Theory • a special case of the cross linkage
theory of aging that posits that free
radicals produce DNA mutations

BIOLOGICAL THEORIES OF AGING IV
Cellular Aging Theory • the hypothesis that aging occurs as cells slow
their number of replications

BIOLOGICAL THEORIES OF AGING V
Endocrine and Immunological
• decline in progesterone and estrogen partial cause
for chronic illnesses, decreased muscle mass and
strength
• loss of T-cells reduces ability to fight infection

CAN AGING BE REVERSED OR DELAYED?
• Growth Hormones
• Caloric
Restrictions
• Anti-Aging
Compounds

PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES WITH AGE
•Body Composition •Both men and women experience a loss of muscle
mass and water, and an increase of fat tissue
•Skin •Skin loses its elasticity and thickness
•Hair •Hair becomes thinner and more gray

SLEEP PATTERNS
• Up to 40 percent of older adults report sleep
difficulties
• Older adults may compensate by taking naps
• Disorders of sleep that can occur with age include:
•respiratory problems, sleep apnea, and restless
leg syndrome

VISION AND HEARING
•Vision •Vision problems increase with age
•i.e. glaucoma, cataract, age-related macular degeneration
•Hearing •Age-related hearing may lead to adaptations and compensation
•Otosclerosis, presbycusis, &
tinnitus

TASTE AND SMELL
•Taste •The taste function of older people does not undergo a general decline
in strength, but demonstrates specific changes
•Smell •Age differences exist in the appreciation of smells
