Age, if defined purely from a physiological perspective, is a process of deterioration of body systems. However, aging is more appropriately defined
1. As a process of slow brain deterioration
2. By ageism—a term used to describe the aging process
3. From several domains including physiologic, psychological, sociologic, and spiritual processes
4. As related to cognitive ability—the ability to live independently
ANS: 3
Aging has many domains, not just physiologic ones.
