Answer to Question 1

A, C, D
The most common causes of death in the older population are cerebrovascular disease, heart conditions, and cancer. End-stage renal disease and diabetes are not among the top three causes of death.

Answer to Question 2

C
Immunosenescence is the term used in immunity theory to describe an age-related decrease in immune functioning. According to this theory, as people age, they are more prone to getting cancer or autoimmune diseases because of this phenomenon. This is a nonstochastic theory. Radical and error theories are both stochastic. The pacemaker theory looks at the interrelated role of the neurologic and endocrine systems and aging.
