Life span development: intervention implications for concepts of aging.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The life span theory of development is based on the notion that development occurs at all ages. A person's developmental history influences his or her behavior later in life. Following this assumption, the ability of an elderly person to cope with health problems is related to past experience in coping with similar problems or life events. The goal of intervention related to life span development serves two purposes: to help individuals overlap positive health behaviors that will be sustained throughout life and to discuss the role and impact of life events on their ability to cope with later problems. The school health program provides an excellent vehicle for achieving these goals.

متن کاملEffect of feeding regimens on circadian rhythms: Implications for aging and longevity
Increased longevity and improved health can be achieved in mammals by two feeding regimens, caloric restriction (CR), which limits the amount of daily calorie intake, and intermittent fasting (IF), which allows the food to be available ad libitum every other day. The precise mechanisms mediating these beneficial effects are still unresolved. Resetting the circadian clock is another intervention...
