Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There have been a number of versions of quizzes on aging, patterned after Erdman Palmore’s

landmark “Facts on Aging Quiz” that appeared in two issues of The Gerontologist (1977; 1981).

The initial version developed at UMKC was authored by Linda Breytspraak, Ph.D., Burton

Halpert, Ph.D., and Liz Kendall, M.A. The current revision of that initial version was authored by

Linday Breytspraak, PhD, and Lynn Badura, B.A., Graduate Certificate in Gerontology.

About half the items in the current quiz are similar or identical to Palmore’s. The other half

represent issues that have received more attention since his quiz was developed or were

judged by the authors to be of significant interest now. This 2015 revision has all the same

questions as the original version with a few small wording changes in several items. The

authors have drawn on current research and gerontological and geriatric texts to answer the

questions. We provide a reference list, divided into (1) general sources and (2) sources used to

document data or specific trends discussed in answers to particular questions.

The authors of the 2015 version grant permission for anyone to use the Facts on Aging Qui
