aging
Aging is the process of growing older and experiencing biological changes over time, while old age specifically refers to the later stages of life when individuals are typically considered elderly. Aging is a gradual process that occurs throughout life, while old age is a stage of life that is typically characterized by a decline in physical and cognitive abilities.
The book "Aging Identity: A Dialogue with Postmodernism" examines aging from a point of view that aging is not a decline, but a dynamic change. It looks at aging and the attitude towards the elderly in different cultures and the diversity of aging peoples. The book also looks at the challenges and opportunities that come with aging.
British English typically spells "aging" as "ageing."

The four different types of aging are chronological aging (natural process of getting older), intrinsic aging (internal factors like genetics), extrinsic aging (external factors like sun exposure), and cellular aging (damage to cells over time).
Normal aging is best defined by chronological aging 65 to 74 - young old; 75 to 84 middle old; 85 above old old. Biological aging does not match uniformly with the above. Functional aging is different for every individual who is aging.
