An aging society can lead to increased healthcare costs, higher demand for long-term care services, strain on social security systems, and potential labor force shortages as the population ages. It may also result in changes to the social fabric, family structures, and economic dynamics of a country.
The aging process as a social construct is determined by cultural norms, beliefs, and expectations about how individuals should behave and be treated based on their age. These societal constructs influence attitudes towards aging, the valuation of different life stages, and perceptions of aging individuals' roles and contributions in society.

The underlying cause of cellular effects of aging is believed to be multifactorial, involving a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.

These processes contribute to cellular and tissue dysfunction over time, leading to the overall aging of the organism.
