N2  - The model presented here provides a starting point for considering the physical impediments that accompany biologic aging. The scientific challenge for the future is to identify how specific modifiable variables can attenuate these physical impediments and distinguish them from those changes that are truly irreversible accompaniments of aging. The humanitarian challenge facing all health care professionals is to provide compassionate care, emotional support, and unfailing commitment to aging persons as they experience changes in physical function and role performance.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
