Gerontology Course

This course discusses scientific studies of the causes of aging, stages of aging, effects of aging, diseases related to aging which include biological, physiological, psychological, psychosocial and spiritual aspects of aging and ways to eliminate/reduce the symptoms. This course also examines the molecular causes of aging, including the structure of chromosomes, especially telomeres and their role in apoptosis and the aging process. This course also examines ways to prevent and reduce the rate of aging. Gerontology courses are presented through providing information, discussions and assignments to study related articles
