How do people change when they grow old?

Answer 1

As a person ages, their body doesn't reproduce skin, tissue and organ cells as readily as it did when younger. Therefore, the skin loses it's elasticity, which causes wrinkles and other signs of aging.

Answer 2

As people grow old, they may experience physical changes such as decreased mobility, changes in vision and hearing, and slowing down of bodily functions. They may also experience cognitive changes, such as memory decline and slower processing speed. Emotionally, older adults may prioritize different things, develop greater emotional stability, and become more reflective.

Answer 3

Getting older happens to everyone, starting as a newborn! Really! Aging is a lifelong process. As we age, our bodies change. By age 30-40, many "youthful" features begin to change. Men and women often put on more weight. Women and men over 50-60 often notice thinning hair on their heads. Skin loses elasticity and becomes drier, making older people begin to show more wrinkles. People who worshiped the sun as a teenager often have drier and damaged skin. Teeth used over a lifetime begin to fail; some people need dentures.

A lifetime of small injuries (twists; sprains), larger injuries (like broken bones), accidents (whiplash), illnesses, conditions, diseases, etc. begin to accumulate. Most 20 yr olds push through an injury and keep on working, but old injuries can flare up when you age over 50, 60, 70, etc. Multiple problems throughout your life catch up with you in older years, even for active seniors.

For most people, the biological changes feel surprising. On the inside, older people still "think young". It's when they look in a mirror, or are struggling with pain or diseases, that "old age" is a reality. As with every generation, just live your life as fully as you can at all ages!
