Theories of Aging

Multiple theories of aging, both biological and psychosocial have been postulated and are being tested by scientists. Write a brief description and scientific support for each (1 paragraph). Identify the theory you believe is most likely responsible for the decremental aging, for both the physical and psychosocial, experienced in suburban American communities. Justify your selection. Also, describe how your two theories interact to slow aging or increase it. Taking your two theories, identify what areas you think treatment should be targeted in order to slow the physical and psychosocial decremental aging process. Identify several treatment modalities that would be beneficial. Include short term, mid-term, and long-term preventive care methods specific to the theory selected.
