Aging theories

Cell senescence theory of aging

Cell senescence limits cell divisions and may be important in human aging and age-related diseases

Continuity theory of aging

Continuity is an adaptive strategy in middle-aged and older adults to preserve and maintain existing internal and external structures

Evolutionary theory of aging

Free radical theory of aging

Garbage catastrophe theory of aging

Aging may be caused by imperfect clearance of oxidatively damaged, relatively indigestible material, the accumulation of which further hinders cellular catabolic and anabolic functions

Habituation theory

Discuss the influence of habituation on environmental perception, cognition, and appraisal, etc.

Maillard reaction theory of aging

Maillard reaction or advanced glycation end products may cause diabetes and aging through crosslinking of proteins

Mitochondrial theory of aging

Mitochondrial free radical theory of aging

Mutation theory of aging

Network theory of aging

Integrates the contributions of defective mitochondria, aberrant proteins, and free radicals in aging

Oxygen stress-mitochondrial mutation theory of aging

Participation theory of aging

Aging may result from the participation of some regulatory systems in controlling development through spending their resources
