Scope and Importance:
Gerontologists view maturing regarding four unique forms: ordered maturing, living maturing, mental maturing, and social maturing. Ordered maturing is the meaning of maturing dependent upon an individual's years existed from conception. Natural maturing alludes to the physical progressions that lessen the productivity of organ frameworks. Mental maturing incorporates the progressions that happen in tactile and perceptual methodologies, cognitive capacities, versatile limit, and temperament. Social maturing alludes to a singular's changing parts and associations with family, companions, and other casual backings, profitable parts and inside associations.

Gerontology can be classified into three types: Biogerontology Social Gerontology Environmental gerontology Biogerontology is the sub-field of gerontology concerned with the biological processes of aging and their evolutionary origins. It involves interdisciplinary research on biological aging's causes, effects, and mechanisms. Biomedical gerontology, also known as experimental gerontology and life extension, is a sub-discipline of biogerontology that endeavors to slow, prevent, and even reverse aging in both humans and animals. Approaches include curing age-related diseases and slowing down the underlying processes of aging. Most "life extensionists" believe the human life span can be increased within the next century, if not sooner. Biological Theories of aging are numerous and no one theory has been accepted. There is a wide spectrum of the types of theories for the causes of aging with programmed theories on one extreme and error theories on the other. Regardless of the theory, a commonality is that as humans age, functions of the body decline. The important theories of aging include: • Wear and tear • Genetic • General imbalance • Accumulation • The free radical theory of aging • The DNA Damage Theory of Aging Social gerontology Social gerontology is a multi-disciplinary sub-field that spends significant time in concentrating on or working with more seasoned mature people. Social gerontologists might have degrees or preparing in social work, nurturing, brain research, humanism, demography, gerontology, or other social science disciplines. Social gerontologists are answerable for instructing, examining, and propelling the broader explanations for more advanced in years individuals. Social theories of aging: Several theories of aging are developed to observed the aging process of older adults in society as well as how these processes are interpreted by men and women as they age. • Activity theory • Disengagement theory • Continuity theory • Age stratification theory • Life course theory • Cumulative advantage/disadvantage theory • Constructionist theories Environmental gerontology is an information region which points Gerontology comprehend, investigate, change and upgrade the relationship between the maturing individual and their physical and social environment, from interdisciplinary viewpoints and methodologies, blanket diverse teaches like psycho gerontology, topography, urban arranging, building design and urban outline, social approach, social work, humanism and different sciences at the closure . It is normal that in advancing years the maturing populace worldwide incrementantara engage in natural gerontology ponders , because of social, monetary , social and ecological components connected with this marvel in urban communities, basically in nations advancement.
Market Analysis:
Geographically, North America accounts for one of the largest markets followed by Europe. Baby boomers play a major role in the market growth. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average life expectancy in the U.S. will be 77.1 years for men and 81.9 years for women by 2020. To tackle the rising aging population, favorable reimbursement policies and extensive presence of care centers are set up to assist the problems faced by aged people. Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest growing region due to the factors such as rise in persistent medical conditions and rising concern for life expectancies among the geriatric population. Latin America holds a strong potential for the market growth owing to the high presence of geriatric population and growing health care facility.
Some of the key players in this market segment are, the Jewish Family Service, the International Association of Geriatric Care, National Association of Professional Care Managers, Senior Care Centers, the UF health, the World Health Organization and others. These players constantly participate in awareness programs, as well as mergers and acquisitions to serve the elderly society effectively.
