<p>Memory Decline in Normal Aging = Refers to the storage, retention, and recall of information including past experiences, knowledge, and thoughts Physical Activity in Successful Aging = Considered perhaps the single most important thing an older person can do to remain healthy Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Mortality Risk = Higher risk of death associated with low cardiorespiratory fitness; longer lives associated with high cardiorespiratory fitness Free-Radical Theory of Aging = Initiates a self-perpetuating cycle leading to cellular damage and aging</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Couch potatoes are now being grouped with cigarette smokers as taking their lives in their own hands = Both are considered equally detrimental to health due to inactivity and smoking, respectively The dominant effect of fitness over other risk factors makes physical fitness the most important thing for older adults = Fitness is highlighted as a crucial factor for health despite other risk factors Memory decline in normal aging is associated with disease states = Not all types of memory loss in normal aging are due to disease states Increased physical fitness has little impact on an older person's overall health = Contradicts the study's findings that fitness plays a significant role in successful aging</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Successful Aging = Involves physical activity as a key component for maintaining health in old age Global Aging Trend = The increase in older population poses social challenges without historical precedent Memory Loss Types in Normal Aging = Only some types are linked to normal aging while others are indicative of disease states Increase in Lifespan Causes = Physical fitness is highlighted as a key factor contributing to longer lives</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Low Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Risk of Death = Associated with higher mortality risk according to the ACLS study High Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Longevity = Linked to longer lives based on the study findings Fitness as an Antidote for Risk Factors = Fitness is portrayed as potentially counteracting other risk factors for longevity Exercise and Life Expectancy = The more exercise an individual engages in, the longer they are likely to live</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Cellular Clock Theory of Aging = Posits an approximate maximum number of times human cells can divide before aging sets in Hormonal System Theory of Aging = Suggests that changes in the body's hormonal system may make it less resilient to stress and more prone to disease risk Aging Definitions = Memory decline is defined along with successful aging components like physical activity Telomere Damage Repair Enzyme = An enzyme that can repair telomere damage related to cellular aging</p> Signup and view all the answers
