Gerontology
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Gerontology is the multidisciplinary study of aging and its challenges; social gerontology is the branch that examines aging's social and sociological dimensions.
Show
A social gerontologist studies how retirement changes a person's daily roles, while a biologist in the same field studies cellular change.
Watch for
Gerontology studies the aged and the aging process, not geriatrics, which is medical treatment.
