Abstract

Aging, an ever-present process, is a part of every living organism's life cycle. Gerontology, the study of the biological, social, psychological aspects of aging, is a field that has been around since the 1930s, when the human inquiry into aging began to emerge. Aging can be characterized by the external changes, wrinkles, graying of the hair, among other changes, and lesser-seen but still important changes, presbycusis, arteriosclerosis, osteoporosis, cognitive decline, sarcopenia, and more. There is a strong drive to uncover as much as we can about the process of aging and the ways to delay its progression.
