THEORIES OF AGING

There are many theories of aging. We can divide them into:

• Biologic theories.
• Psychosocial theories.

Biologic theories	Psychosocial theories
- The Programmed Theory. - The Rut-out-program Theory. - The Living Theory. - The Gen Theory. - The Molecular Theories. - The Error Theory. - The Somatic Mutations Theory. - The Free Radical Theory. - The Cross Line. - The Clinker Theory.  - The Neuroendocrine Theory. - The Immunologic Theory.	- The Disengagement Theory. - The Actitvity Theory. - Life Course Theories:      Erikson's Theory.      Havighurt's Theory.      Jung's Theory.

There are so many different theories and is a subject so vast, that I think the most important thing is to know the essential functioning.

So I'm putting this video, which is very interesting. Speaking in general of all these theories, very explanatory and easy to understand.

It is in Spanish, a program of the  Tve, called "Networks".
