Eight normal age-related changes of the integumentary system include the thinning of the epidermis, which can lead to increased fragility of the skin; a decrease in collagen and elastin production, causing loss of elasticity and wrinkles; and reduced oil production, resulting in drier skin. Additionally, there may be a decline in the number of melanocytes, leading to gray hair and age spots. Blood vessels in the dermis may become more fragile, increasing the risk of bruising. Lastly, the rate of skin cell turnover slows down, which can impair wound healing.
