Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gerontology is the study of aging, including the causes and effects of normal and pathological aging. Therefore, the separation of causes for both types of aging is a goal of gerontology. The wear-and-tear theory and biological limit theory are specific theories of aging, but they do not necessarily focus on distinguishing normal from pathological aging. Androgyny is not related to the study of aging.
