This volume develops a comprehensive multivariate paradigm of
the process of aging, delineating the factors underlying
age-related degeneration. The model is aimed at understanding the
conditions under which age sets into motion a process of
degeneration. Accumulating evidence suggests that age per se is not
the decisive factor in age-related regression--leading scholars to
distinguish between chronological and functional age. The process
of degeneration is evidently due to the combined impact of
deleterious biophysiological, psychological, and socio-cultural
factors and the interaction among them.
Based on this evidence, Zeev Ben-Sira shows how age-related
degeneration can be viewed as a product of a damaging cycle of
reciprocally activating stimuli from the person's internal and
external environment. Consequently, aging is conceptualized as a
process of bio-psychosocial regression. The paradigm outlined in
this volume identifies factors that are likely to accelerate or
decelerate the process of aging.
