The Genetics of Behavioral Aging11. Biological Implications of the Demography of Aging; IndexPresenting the latest research in the biology of aging, this volume addresses important theoretical issues focusing on the basis for why humans live as long as they do. Expert authors combine three general paradigms of aging research: demographic studies, evolutionary studies, and studies of biological mechanisms.: Topics explored include:.; Why does aging occur?; Cellular aging; Models in aging research; Modern approaches to the mechanisms of aging; The genetics of behavioral agingAnnual review of gerontology and geriatrics ;v. 21, 2001.AgingDevelopmental biologyGerontologyOld ageAging.Developmental biology.Gerontology.Old age.362.6Adelman Richard C.1940-1503736Cristofalo Vincent J.1933-92071MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782675103321Annual review of gerontology and geriatrics3732319UNINA
