Gerontologists

/ˌdʒɛrənˈtɒlədʒɪsts/ noun

Definition

Scientists and doctors who study the aging process and diseases that affect older people.

Etymology

From Greek 'geron' (old man) + 'logos' (study) + '-ist' (one who practices). The field of gerontology emerged in the 20th century as populations aged and medical interest in aging increased.

Kelly Says

Gerontologists discovered that aging isn't just one process—your skin ages differently than your bones, which age differently than your brain, which is why some 80-year-olds run marathons while others struggle with simple tasks.
