Foundations in Biogerontology | Chapter 7 | Selected Topics in Humanities and Social Sciences Vol. 6
Scientific techniques have earned a reputation in recent decades as the preeminent choice for addressing the natural world's difficult issues. Despite being one of the most inevitably and inexorably occurring processes in human biology, ageing had long eluded the notice of experts dedicated on curing human diseases. Dedicated efforts of numerous foundations, research institutions, and companies, on the other hand, have largely contributed to our understanding of ageing in the last several decades. Biogerontology, a new area of research that bridges the gap between gerontology and geriatrics, was created to address the complexities of metabolism and biological factors that cause ageing. This chapter gives a short overview of several ageing theories and how their combined effects may contribute to the currently recognised signs of ageing.
