The process of becoming older, a process that is genetically determined and environmentally modulated. Research into aging: To sum up the state of research into aging is well beyond the confines of this space (and this writer's talents). However, here is one type of research into the genetics of aging. A gene has been discovered that helps det [..]

One of the US National Institutes of Health (NIH). The mission of the National Institute on Aging is to "lead a national program of research on the biomedical, social, and behavioral aspects of the aging process; the prevention of age-related diseases and disabilities; and the promotion of a better quality of life for all older Americans."

1. In retailing, aging is the length of time merchandise has been in stock. 2. The aging of certain products is part of the curing--e.g., tobacco, liquor, cheese. 3. The classification of accounts receivable according to the number of days outstanding.

As the campaign promotes, "aging is an active verb"; used to describe the process everyone experiences, not as a label placed on old and frail individuals.

The change in properties of a material with time under specific conditions.

The process by which certain groups of assets (or liabilities) are placed into descriptive time buckets to indicate how long they have been in existence. The longer inventory has been in existence without moving, the more of a financial risk it represents.

Any change in the properties of a material that occurs at ambient or moderately elevated temperatures after hot working or heat treatment. Aging does not involve any change in the chemical composition of the metal or alloy.

A process by which which meat is held under controlled temperatures for a period of time. This allows enzymatic activity to degrade complex proteins, changing flavor and tenderness.

The reduction of insulation life due to thermal, voltage and other stress.

A process for tenderising meats, by keeping them at a temperature between 0 and 2 degrees Celsius for a period of time, which allows enzymes to break down the tough connective tissues.

The reduction of insulation life due to thermal, voltage and other stress.

Spontaneous change in the physical properties of some metals, which occurs on standing, at atmospheric temperatures after final cold working or after a final heat treatment. Frequently synonymous with [..]

a set of laboratory conditions designed to produce in a short time the results of normal aging. Usual factors include temperature, light, oxygen, water and other environments as needed.

Generally refers to the environmental stimulus such as heat and light. Accelerated aging tests are performed to provide an indication of the performance of the material over its life.

Works to improve choice, independence, and quality of life for aging Ohioans with an emphasis on community-based options that promote active, healthy, and independent living.

Allowing to stand undisturbed for a period in order to develop certain characteristics. Some materials improve upon aging, others have a tendency to lose their value.

A formal medical billing term that refers to insurance claims that haven’t been paid or balances owed by patients overdue by more than 30 days. Aging claims may become denied if they aren’t filed in time with a health insurance company.

The gradual irreversible changes in structure and function of an organism that occur as a result of the passage of time.

Changes in the organism associated with senescence, occurring at an accelerated rate.

The process of holding raw meat for a period of time before processing for the purpose of tenderizing and condensing flavor. Dry aging is performed by storing the meat exposed to air under refrigeration. Evaporation of moisture from the muscles serves to concentrate the flavor and cause significant weight loss. Natural enzymes break down connective [..]

The gradual changes in the structure and function of humans and animals that occur with the passage of time, that do not result from disease or other gross accidents, and that eventually lead to the increased probability of death as the person or animal grows older.
