Abstract

The author in this article suggests that applying a simple linear concept of time to the phenomenon of aging and development in the United States and around the world is both outdated and problematic, and he explores an alternative view. The author suggests that nursing and other sciences should stop considering age as a non-modifiable risk factor. Various nursing and other theories that support a nonlinear view of time and aging are included, as well as reports from the growing field of geoscience that holds that we can and should target aging and that it can be slowed and, in some cases, reversed. Some implications for nursing and the world are included. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
