Describe primary, secondary, and tertiary aging. Give one specific example of each
ANSWER:
Primary aging is normal, disease-free aging across adulthood. Normative aging includes things like menopause, decline in reaction time, and thinning and graying of hair. Secondary aging describes changes due to disease, lifestyle, and environmental factors. These changes, such as Alzheimer's, are not inevitable across the population. Tertiary aging describes the rapid losses that occur just before death. For example, for some people there is a marked decline in intellectual abilities in the years prior to death
