"Before gray hair you shall stand up, and honor an old man’s face."
- Leviticus 19:32, Byington

Gerontology is the study of aging and the elderly. Scientists study the "progressive changes that take place in a cell, a tissue, an organ system, a total organism, or a group of organisms with the passage of time."

The physical aging process results in loss of strength, memory, and ability. Yet, in many cultures throughout history, advanced age has been regarded as a reason for respect and honor.

Because of their ample life experience, the oldest members of a group, village, or tribe were sought for advice and guidance.
