Endless Reflections: Explorations of Aging in Modern Research

Epifanio Bagarinao

Endless Reflections: Explorations of Aging in Modern Research is a compelling collection of scientific journal articles that delves deeply into the multifaceted phenomenon of aging. With a foreword that sets the stage by highlighting the dichotomy of biological, psychological, and social aspects of aging, this volume offers groundbreaking research from neuroimaging to social science. Key articles examine aging's impact on brain connectivity, showcasing how structural changes affect cognitive functions and differentiate healthy aging from neurodegenerative conditions. Studies on leisure activities reveal their critical role in promoting sustainable and healthy aging, while insights from community-based practitioners provide practical understandings of what healthy aging looks like in everyday life. The collection also explores the biochemical and genetic intersections between normal aging and diseases like Alzheimer's, underscoring the importance of early intervention. Articles challenge conventional notions of successful aging and present innovative theories, such as the Danaid theory, to explain aging's biological intricacies. With contributions that span detailed examinations of biomarkers to broader socio-economic analyses, this anthology serves as an essential resource for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and anyone interested in the universal journey of aging. Each page offers a richer appreciation of aging's complexities, driving toward a holistic view of longevity and quality of life.
