Gerontology: The Interdisciplinary Study of Aging

Gerontology is the study of the biological, psychological, and sociological aspects of the aging process. It includes the study of changes in adults as they age, the ways that society changes with an aging population, and the ways we apply this information to programs and policies for older adults.
