HHSC584 - The Biology of Human Ageing |
||||||
| Coordinator(s) | Graham Lloyd Jones (gjones2@une.edu.au) | ||||||
| Unit Description |
This unit explores theories of biological ageing, structural and physiological changes in the human body associated with normal ageing and their implications for lifestyle. Nutritional concerns of the aged will be studied in an optional third module, as well as the physiological factors that result in altered lifestyle impact in the elderly. HHSC584 demands a more pathophysiological approach to the material, as well as additional topics. Only students with a nutrition background should attempt the alternate third module on nutrition and ageing. |
