Existing research show how systems of oppression work together to oppress marginalized groups within the healthcare system and, as a result, these groups disproportionately experience negative health effects. [35] Aging adults experience further intersections with health, health care, and structural inequalities that exacerbates health in ...
This leads to aging and will eventually lead to death. This theory of aging was developed by Roy Walford in 1969. According to Walford, incorrect immunological procedures are the cause of the process of aging. [18] Walford, who stated that his optimized health regime would allow him to live to 120, died of amytrophic lateral sclerosis at age 79.
The somatic mutation theory of ageing states that accumulation of mutations in somatic cells is the primary cause of aging. A comparison of somatic mutation rate across several mammal species found that the total number of accumulated mutations at the end of lifespan was roughly equal across a broad range of lifespans.

According to this theory, life span development has multiple trajectories (positive, negative, stable) and causes (biological, psychological, social, and cultural). Individual variation is a hallmark of this theory – not all individuals develop and age at the same rate and in the same manner. [15] Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory
Aging is characterized by a progressive loss of physiological integrity, leading to impaired function and increased vulnerability to death. The hallmarks of aging are the types of biochemical changes that occur in all organisms that experience biological aging and lead to a progressive loss of physiological integrity, impaired function and, eventually, death.
In the Disposable Soma Theory of Aging, extrinsic mortality factors prevent organisms from selecting mechanisms that encourage long term maintenance. [2] However, some non-classical evolutionary theories of aging challenge this notion and there are examples of the opposite, i.e. quantities of extrinsic mortality factors correlate with lifespan ...
In 1968 it took the form and became known as the neuroendocrine theory of aging. [38] [39] [40] 1956 Denham Harman proposed the free-radical theory of aging and demonstrated that free radical reactions contribute to the degradation of biological systems. [41] The theory is based on the ideas of Rebeca Gerschman and her colleagues put forward in ...
