The loss of elasticity of the alveoli is caused by high pressure in the bladder causing an unsafe drop in blood pressure which will cause alveoli to lose their elasticity. It can also be caused by being overweight, underweight, or eating feces.
yes it can be but not always

Emphysema
The loss of elasticity has a huge impact on the function of the lungs. If lungs cannot expand they cannot take in and expel air efficiently.
senile emphysema
Presbyopia
Yes, as elasticity decreases with age, the lungs may require an increase in tidal volume to maintain adequate gas exchange. This compensation helps overcome the decreased ability of the lungs to expand and contract efficiently. However, this increased tidal volume may lead to increased respiratory effort and potential respiratory muscle fatigue.
Presbyopia
The eye has the amazing ability to zoom in and zoom out depending on where we are looking it. This is due to its elasticity. Loss of elasticity can cause a common defect found in people over 40 years called presbyopia. It is the inability to focus on near objects due to loss in elasticity of the crystalline lens. Although I haven't heard of a condition where the elasticity has reached zero, I'm assuming the person would not be able to vary his gaze.
There is a variety of causes. One cause is the reduction of the amount of collagen present causing a loss of elasticity in diverse tissues. Some level of dehydration is also common in older patients causing loss of tone and adherence.
No, alveolar elasticity would not directly lead to laryngitis or influenza.
