It examines physical, emotional, cognitive, and social changes, as well as how genetics, environment, and experiences influence health and well-being. Researchers aim to understand patterns of growth, the impact of aging on behavior, and how to promote longevity and quality of life. This field informs various areas, including psychology, medicine, and social policy, providing insights that can improve health outcomes and enhance the quality of life at every age.
