Assignment:
Imagine you are 70 years old and have discovered that you have been given an age-related diagnosis (pick whatever age-related disease you may have been interested in researching for this assignment). Discuss, how this received diagnosis might impact your functional ability, independence, and overall well-being as an older adult. What could be some identified preventive techniques that may enhance your aging process throughout your life to potentially delay the discussed disease. How will your suggested techniques work on the organ systems? Link your reflection to the covered material assigned for this week.
[Example of age-related disease: COPD, type II diabetes, dementia, osteoporosis, cancer, arthritis, cataract, hearing loss, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, etc.]
Remember: you are required to have two (2) outside sources for your reflection, in addition to the used inside sources. (Inside source is any source provided in this class; an outside source is a credible academic source that you find such as peer-review article, governmental report data, and personal research skills). Then, you must always cite your used work -- in text and as reference; all inside and outside sources must be cited. Some examples where you can find outside sources are CSULB Library and Google Scholars -- do not use Wikipedia and other similar websites to Wikipedia -- websites like Wikipedia are not credible sources since those websites are not a peer-reviewed collection.
