Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ethnogerontology is the study of how race, ethnicity, culture, and national origin affect the aging process and how it shapes the experiences of older adults. Geriatrics, on the other hand, is the medical specialty dedicated to the care of the elderly, while telogerontology is not a recognized term in the field of aging. The Double Jeopardy Hypothesis, while related to the study of race and aging, specifically refers to the added burdens faced by individuals who experience discrimination based on multiple identities or characteristics (such as race and gender).
