Ans) The Programmed Theory
- Programmed Longevity, which considers ageing to be the result of
a sequential switching on and off of certain genes, with senescence
being defined as the time when age-associated deficits are
manifested.
- Endocrine Theory, where biological clocks act through hormones to
control the pace of ageing.
- Immunological Theory, which states that the immune system is
programmed to decline over time, leading to an increased
vulnerability to infectious disease and thus ageing and death.
Disengagement Theory:
- Refers to an inevitable process in which many of the
relationships between a person and other members of society are
severed & those remaining are altered in quality.
- Withdrawal may be initiated by the ageing person or by society,
and may be partial or total.
It was observed that older people are less involved with life than
they were as younger adults.
- As people age they experience greater distance from society &
they develop new types of relationships with society.
- In America there is evidence that society forces withdrawal on
older people whether or not they want it.
- Some suggest that this theory does not consider the large number
of older people who do not withdraw from society.
- This theory is recognised as the first formal theory that
attempted to explain the process of growing older.
Important concepts in the biochemistry of aging include: Free radicals are unstable oxygen molecules that can damage cells. DNA repair is the concept that, for unknown reasons, the systems in the body that repair DNA seem to become less effective in older people.

Be sure to add your references in APA...

Un programmed Theories of Aging: 1)Identify and define one theory from this group; based upon that specific theory, discuss how it can be used to develop health-promotion advice for older adults. Types of exercise : 1)Describe the important difference between aerobic and resistance exercise. 2) Next for each one, explain how it can help to slow the progression of a normal age-related change in a specific, tissue, organ, or system in the body.
How do you evaluate ERG Alderfer’s Theory and Maslow’s Theory of motivation. Explain the strengths and Weakness of the theories.
Describe the theoretical models used to explain various mental health concerns (e.g., learning theory, biological models, psychosocial models, diathesis-stress modeletc.) for Obsessive Compulsive disorder
Select two individual health behavior theories. Compare and contrast the two theories. Explain how each theory works to include its benefits and challenges. Describe a public health issue that could be addressed by each theory. For the theories you have identified: Define each theory to include a brief overview of the history. Explain how each theory works by using a public health issue as an example. Discuss the benefits and challenges of using each theory. Compare and contrast the theories.
Researchers have developed a number of theories to explain motivation, and each theory contributes to a better understanding of motivation. In this module, you have read about drive reduction and arousal theory, behavioral and social-cognitive theories, and Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. In this activity, you will write a 3-5 page essay that discusses different theories of motivation. Objectives: Describe how psychologists define and classify motivation, and evaluate various theories that explain motivation. Discuss eating behavior, eating disorders, and factors that...
6 Explain activity theory and disengagement theory. Is it normal for an older person to disengage from life? Or, is it more likely that older people will continue to pursue activities consistently to the end of their life? 7 Theories in Gerontology can be divided into macro and micro theories. What do these theories cover and why is each category necessary for viewing aging? What is the difference between aging processes and aging structures? 8 What should we call older...
Research and describe five leadership theories. (Tip: check out changingminds.org for a list of leadership theories. This website is NOT an academic source so cannot be used in this paper, but it can help you find ideas which you will then research in the NAU Online Library. Do not use a category of theories like behavioral theories). For each theory, identify and explain which traits are exemplified. Provide a scenario that shows each theory in use. Select one leadership theory...
