THE AGING PARADOX: THE OLDER WE GET, THE HAPPIER WE ARE

Believe it or not, there are upsides to getting older. Yes, your physical health is likely to decline as you age. And unfortunately, your cognitive abilities like learning new skills and remembering things is likely to suffer too. But despite such downsides, research suggests that your overall mental health, including your mood, your sense of well-being and your ability to handle stress, just keeps improving right up until the very end of life.

In a recent survey of more than 1,500 San Diego residents aged 21 to 99, researchers report that people in their 20s were the most stressed out and depressed, while those in their 90s were the most content. There were no dips in well-being in midlife, and no tapering off of well-being at the end of life. Instead scientists found a clear, linear relationship between age and mental health: The older people were, the happier they felt.

“The consistency was really striking,” said Dilip Jeste, director of the UC San Diego Center for Healthy Aging and senior author of the study. “People who were in older life were happier, more satisfied, less depressed, had less anxiety and less perceived stress than younger respondents.”

The results were published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology (2016).

Experts on the psychology of aging say the new findings add to a growing body of research that suggests there are emotional benefits to getting older.

“In the literature it’s called the paradox of aging,” said Laura Carstensen, director of the Stanford Center on Longevity, who was not involved in the work. “How can it be that given the many well-documented losses that occur with age, we also see this improvement in emotional well-being?”

As it happens, Carstensen does not think this is a paradox at all.

In her own work, she has found evidence that people’s goals and reasoning change as they come to appreciate their mortality and recognize that their time on Earth is finite.

“When people face endings they tend to shift from goals about exploration and expanding horizons to ones about savoring relationships and focusing on meaningful activities,” she said. “When you focus on emotionally meaningful goals, life gets better, you feel better, and the negative emotions become less frequent and more fleeting when they occur.”

The authors of the new work also suggest that improved mental health in old age could be due to the wisdom people acquire as they grow older.

Jeste defines wisdom as a mutli-component personality trait that includes empathy, compassion, self-knowledge, openness to new ideas, decisiveness, emotional regulation and doing things for others rather than for yourself. [...]

Another important finding of the study is that despite our culture’s obsession with youth, it turns out that the 20s and 30s are generally a very stressful time for many young adults who are plagued by anxiety and depression.

“This ‘fountain of youth’ is associated with a far worse level of psychological well-being than during any other period of adulthood,” the authors said. They noted that there are many pressures unique to this life phase including establishing a career, finding a life partner and navigating financial issues. [...]

According to the text, the main idea supported by the study presented is:

Sendo a BNCC, para orientar a elaboração dos currículos de Ciências, as aprendizagens essenciais a ser asseguradas neste componente curricular foram organizadas em três unidades temáticas que se repetem ao longo de todo o Ensino Fundamental: Matéria e energia, Vida e evolução e Terra e Universo.

Na unidade temática de Matéria e energia, os objetos de conhecimento: Fontes e tipos de energia Transformação de energia Cálculo de consumo de energia elétrica Circuitos elétricos Uso consciente de energia elétrica, são indicadas para o

Sendo a BNCC, ao longo do Ensino Fundamental, a área de Ciências da Natureza tem um compromisso com o desenvolvimento do letramento científico, que envolve a capacidade de compreender e interpretar o mundo (natural, social e tecnológico), mas também de transformá-lo com base nos aportes teóricos e processuais das ciências.

São Competências Específicas de Ciências da Natureza para o Ensino Fundamental, entre outras, EXCETO:

O nosso organismo se constitui de diversos sistemas corpóreos. Nas pessoas saudáveis, eles devem funcionar, em total sincronia, como numa linha de produção. Para isso, é necessário que ocorra uma interdependência entre eles.

“Consiste em eliminar grande parte de impurezas do nosso corpo através da urina e do suor, principalmente. O processo para eliminação desses resíduos ocorre da seguinte forma: o sangue chega até os rins (que fazem parte do sistema excretor), no interior dos quais existem os néfrons que funcionam como um filtro, onde os resíduos (como por exemplo, amônia e uréia) são encaminhados para os bacinetes, os ureteres, a bexiga e uretra, por onde são expelidos”.
