The metabolic stability theory of aging suggests it is the cells ability to maintain stable concentration of ROS which is the primary determinant of lifespan. [37] This theory criticizes the free radical theory because it ignores that ROS are specific signalling molecules which are necessary for maintaining normal cell functions. [37]
The activity theory and the disengagement theory were the two major theories that outlined successful aging in the early 1960s. [4] The theory was developed by Robert J. Havighurst in 1961. [ 1 ] In 1964, Bernice Neugarten asserted that satisfaction in old age depended on active maintenance of personal relationships and endeavors.
Stochastic theories of aging are theories suggesting that aging is caused by small changes in the body over time and the body's failure to restore the system and mend the damages to the body. Cells and tissues are injured due to the accumulation of damage over time resulting in the diminished functioning of organs.

The disposable soma theory of aging posits that there is a trade-off in resource allocation between somatic maintenance and reproductive investment.Too low an investment in self-repair would be evolutionarily unsound, as the organism would likely die before reproductive age.
The network theory of aging provides a deeper look at the damage and repair processes at the cellular level and the ever changing balance between those processes. To fully understand the network theory as its applied to aging you must look at the different hierarchical elements of the theory as it pertains to aging.
The cellularity of the bone marrow does decrease with age and can be usually calculated by the formula 100-age, and this seems consistent with a stem cell theory of aging. [18] A dog study published by Zaucha J.M, Yu C. and Mathioudakis G., et al. also shows evidence against the stem cell theory. Experimental comparison of the engraftment ...
