Biogerontologic theories.

Experimental gerontology - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt

Theories of age and aging engage a wide variety of phenomena and levels of explanation. There is a general consensus that aging is a complex process or set of processes, involving many "causal" inputs and manifold consequences. Two general theoretical orientations that explicitly address complexity are sketched here-the differential theory of quantitative genetics and systems theory. Among the suggestions derived...
