Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 6 page paper explains and compares three aging theories: Wear and Tear Theory, Free Radical Theory and Cross-Link Theory. The writer begins by explaining what the aging is and how it is defined by gerontologists. Each theory is then explained – the theory's founder, the major tenets, and criticisms of the theory. The writer then points to the commonalties of the theories and the basic difference between them. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

thinking, loss of memory, slower reaction times, and many other observable characteristics (Anti-Aging Medicine Associates of Manhattan, nd). Gerontologists define aging as: "a continuous, universal, progressive, intrinsic, and deleterious (CUPID)
process that decreases a organisms ability to maintain homeostasis in the face of environmental stressors and therefore increases the organisms likelihood of dying" (Anti-Aging Medicine Associates of Manhattan, nd). Aging
is an ongoing process that begins at some point after an individual is mature enough to reproduce (Anti-Aging Medicine Associates of Manhattan, nd). It is: an intrinsic process, a progressive
process and a deleterious process (Anti-Aging Medicine Associates of Manhattan, nd). Even in the healthiest person, aging will occur, it is inevitable (Anti-Aging Medicine Associates of Manhattan, nd). Each person
ages at different rates. It is possible for the individual who has lived an almost ideal life to live a bit longer than what is considered average (Anti-Aging Medicine Associates
of Manhattan, nd). That is no guarantee, however. It is also possible for the aging process to be delayed or minimized with specific kinds of anti-aging therapies, such as exercise,
specific dietary and nutritional supplements, and so on (Anti-Aging Medicine Associates of Manhattan, nd). Aging theories abound. There must be dozens of different aging theories, i.e., what causes the aging
process. Three such theories are discussed in this essay: The Wear and Tear Theory, The Free Radical Theory and The Cross-Link Theory. In 1882, German Biologist Dr. August Weismann proposed
the Wear and Tear theory of aging (Klatz and Goldman, 1997). Basically, Weisman asserted that the body simply wore out from use and abuse (Klatz and Goldman, 1997). The different
organs in the body, such as the kidneys, stomach, liver and even the skin, become worn out due to the persons use of toxins in foods, like caffeine and sugar,
