Life-course and life-span perspectives on health and aging. Fuller-iglesias, h. , smith, j. , & antonucci, t. c. (2009). Theories of aging from a life-course and life span perspective. Annual review of gerontology and geriatrics, 29, 3 - 25. From success to capability for healthy ageing: shifting the lens to include all older people. Theories of aging from a life-course and life-span perspective. These frameworks address patterns of change over time, informing our understanding of the process of aging. These play an integral role in determining micro-/macrolevel in uences on health and well-being in later life. In order to understand the phenomena of old age and the aging process, it is important to take a life-span developmental and life-course perspective. Both frameworks advocate taking a long-term, multilevel, contextual, and dynamic view of aging. Life-span: pays attention to the length of the life of an individual and to the idea that processes and trajectories of development and aging are lifelong.
