age-related physiological changes

As we age, our bodies undergo various physiological changes. Muscles tend to lose strength and mass, leading to decreased mobility. Bones can become less dense, increasing the risk of fractures. The skin loses elasticity, resulting in wrinkles and dryness. Our metabolism slows down, making it easier to gain weight. Heart and lung function may decline, affecting endurance. Additionally, sensory perception, such as vision and hearing, often diminishes. Hormonal changes can also impact mood and energy levels. Understanding these changes can help promote healthier lifestyles and informed choices as we age.
