Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stanley's health issues are examples of secondary aging, which refers to health deterioration due to disease and poor health habits rather than primary aging, which is the unavoidable biological aging that occurs over time regardless of health habits. Tertiary aging refers to the rapid decline shortly before death, and peripheral aging is not a recognized term in the context of aging processes.
