...The Ageing Process “How Our Bodies and Minds Change” Aging is a process that concerns us all. The increasing armamentarium provided by molecular biology and other techniques has allowed greater understanding of some of the processes involved. Numerous definitions of aging exist; an acceptable and commonly used definition is that aging is the total of all changes an organism undergoes from its conception to its death, including development, maturation and adulthood. There are many theories about how our bodies and minds change as we age, but no matter how much research or theories have been formed, one thing remains true is that our bodies and minds does, and will, change with age and one thing can be agree upon is that the end results in all these studies is that the body and minds does go through many changes during our life time. Since the life span varies between and within species and human longevity is partially hereditary, it is clear that genetic factors, the biology of the brain, and our culture effect the function of the brain and influence the aging process ( Johnson 1993, Schacter et al. 1993, Vijg et al. 1995). Twin studies show that genetic differences account for about a quarter of the variance in adult human lifespan. While a great deal of research has focused on diseases of aging, there are only a few informative studies on the molecular biology of the aging brain. Many molecular changes are due in part to a reduction in the size of the brain, as well as loss...

...The field of epigenetics allows us to get a better understanding of the effects of stress and how it can have a prolonged impact on gene activity. Many studies(N.A Hazel et al., 2005, V.J. Felitti 2002, Franklin et al., 2010) carried out on humans and animals have shown that even early life stress can lead to epigenetic changes which can affect us in adulthood. These changes can make us more susceptible to many neuropsychiatric and cardiovascular disorders. In a study carried out by Nätt et al., 2015 the epigenetic mechanisms caused by high stress levels were studied in children. They measured the levels of cortisol in children’s hair (assuming that stress levels were correlated with cortisol levels), according to this the children were divided into high and low stress groups....

People vary greatly in the level to which their brains, and the rest of their bodies, decline with age. The basic cognitive functions most affected by age,also are attention and memory. Neither of these are unitary functions.‘Normal cognitive ageing’ is crude average; it hides the fact that there are more or less successful studies of cognitive change as people become older....

...The effects of physical and psychological changes associated with ageing referring to Marilyn Monroe. Physical changes during the ageing process occurs at all stages during the human life, body is constantly changing with age. Marilyn Monroe unfortunately died before she reached old age where the more significant ageing process takes place. However in her adulthood she did show significant signs of ageing before her death even though she only died at the age of 38. Stress and anxiety are a factors of speeding up the ageing process which is probably the reason why Marilyn started show physical changes so early in her life. Mostly the changes where in her face which was made obvious to the public because being a model and also actress her face was everywhere. When you start to age the face loses elasticity so it no longer look plump and youthful it beings to get fine lines and wrinkles. Accusations about Marilyn having Botox and other facial plastic surgery to slow down the process so she could keep that youthful look she was so ironically famous for. If Marilyn had lived for a longer length of time it would have been more noticeable the ageing process because her hair would have started to turn grey and maybe even thin out, however now with hair dye a lot of older people do tend to find the grey to give off the appearance of being younger. Another physical sign of ageing would have been her organs slowly decreasing in rate of which they function, such as the liver won’t...

...Unit 4 Development through the Life Stages P1- describe physical, intellectual, emotional and social development for each of the life stages of an individual Infancy Physically: at around nine months after A baby being conceived the child would be born. The child a new born baby wouldn’t have been able to digest food other then breast mill or a substitute. The child wouldn’t have been able to hear everything as a baby’s brain isn’t fully developed at this life stage. The child would have been able to tell the difference between the way things taste and the way their mother smelt. A baby is born with various temporary and primitives reflexes some of these are: A new-born baby will turn their heads towards any touch on the cheek. This is called the rooting reflex and helps the baby to get the nipple or bottle into their mouth to feed. If you place a finger in a baby palm, they will grasp your finger tightly. This reflex is called the grasp reflex. If a baby is startled, this could be by a loud noise, they will throw their hands and arms outwards, arching the back and straightening their back this is called the startle reflex. If a new-born baby is held upright with their feet touching the ground, they will make movements as if their attempting to walk. This is called the walking reflex. A child would have the physical ability to recognise and interact with people. The child would have preferred to listen to other peoples voices; this would have been...

...Middle Adulthood: An Interview with the Average Aging Adult and Current New Markers Changing the Transition into Adulthood. Olga Bell All people go through various stages as they grow into adulthood and into old age. These stages look different for each person but these different stages and life development is what makes each and every one of us individuals. The struggles, blessings, learning and emotional development are all characteristics of human growth and development. The following is an evaluation of only one women who is in middle adulthood. The following describes how upbringing, age, emotional, and psychological development allow to people to grow into one’s own personality. Jane is a thirty seven year old female. She was born on November 4, 1976 in Amherst, New York. When Jane was 10 months old her family moved to Middle Tennessee due to her father finding a well-paying job. She is the youngest of three children (sisters) and was a late life baby. Jane has a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Resources and is a well-known and respected member in her community. Jane was a late life baby. She is the youngest of three children. Her siblings at the time of her birth were nine and twelve. This age gap in her perception stirred inside of her a feeling of being different than the other members in her family. She was constantly picked on and felt like an annoyance to her siblings and was not included in many things because of her age. While Jane grew up she felt like an...

...Desistance in criminology refers to the notion that offenders both cease and refrain from offending (McNeill & Weaver, 2010). However, it has been argued that there is no theoretical or operational definition of desistance (Bushway, Piquero, Broidy, Cauffman, & Mazerolle, 2001; Laub & Sampson, 2001; Maruna, 1999; McNeill & Weaver, 2010; Youssef, Casey, & Day, 2016). Furthermore, desistance is discussed from three different sub-classes: ontogenic theories, sociogenic theories and narrative theories. Ontogenic theories focus on the link between age and criminal behaviours that contribute to desisting from crime. These theories assert that criminality naturally declines after the age of 25, as offenders ‘grow out’ of this criminality phase, accompanied...

...Issues Affecting the Aged Gregory Crutchfield University of Phoenix Human Lifespan Development BSHS/342 Natalie Hetzel May 23, 2011 Issues Affecting the Aged Describe the biological changes that occur in late adult hood and how health and fitness affect the aging process. As people start the ageing process they begin to experience biological changes; most of these changes begin as a person gets to the middle and late adulthood stages. With so many issues that affect seniors today, in the late stages of adulthood many seniors experience different types of issues that can affect their lives, such as health issues, the loss of a husband or wife, family or friends, and social issues as well. This is the stage in life where serious health issues arise and the breakdown of the body systems begins to occur. Over time the protein fibers in senior’s bodies become less elastic and this can affect the health of organs in their bodies. Changes with vision and hearing are common in middle and late adulthood stages, so are changes in the cardiovascular system, and changes in the musculoskeletal system. People begin to experience a loss of strength, heart issues, and health issues concerning other parts of the body such as joint pain, or arthritis, and the loss of bone density. I interviewed my aunt Dorothy Ann Crutchfield, Age 72, a retired RN about the changes she have gone through over the late stages of her life starting with biological changes. She started...
