2. OVERVIEW OF AGING
Definition:
•“Aging is a gradual, continuous process of
natural change that begins in early adulthood.
During early middle age, many bodily functions
begin to gradually decline.
3. When a person becomes old can be
answered in different ways:
Chronologic age
Biological age
Psychologic age
5. AGE RELATED BODY SYSTEMS CHANGES
Aging cells
• As cells age, they function less well. Eventually, old cells
must die, as a normal part of the body’s functioning.
Aging organs
• A decline in one organ’s function, whether due to a disorder
or to aging itself, can affect the function of another. For
example, if atherosclerosis narrows blood vessels to the
kidneys, the kidneys function less well because blood flow
to them is decreased.
