Find the subject in the handbook here. Term 3 - Online

Subject Description

This subject focuses on how the body and its systems are affected by ageing and explores the differences between the natural ageing process and physical changes that develop as a result of illness with older persons. Students will also examine the effects of the environment and lifestyle factors on musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory and neurological systems that contribute to the experience of ageing and to the individual’s capability to engage with their participation preferences. Understanding the common impairments and physiological changes behind them that occur as part of ageing process provides students with a fundamental base to critically analyse as well as develop strategies for healthy ageing and disease prevention.

Body of aging is a systematic subject, surprisingly you will learn wide knowledge about aging. Very good for those who work with aging populations! And I also like the teaching model is more diverse.
