Aging is the process of the degeneration of cells and tissues, which results in many physical and mental changes. It is a complex biological process, which causes deterioration of health with the passage of time. When a person ages, the body loses its capacity to regrow cells and tissues in order to compensate the losses incurred by the body due to cell death. In other words, the rate of cell degeneration surpasses the rate of cell regeneration in aging.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Aging also brings considerable changes in the skin. Skin may start becoming drier with an appearance of wrinkles and age spots. Moreover, it may start losing its elasticity and become thinner. Also, the smoothness of the skin gradually vanishes with aging. Additionally, it takes much more time for the skin to heal. However, besides natural aging, early signs of aging may appear on the skin due to various environmental factors as well.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

One of the major causes of premature skin aging is exposure to sunlight. While it is not possible to completely cut out on sunlight, some preventive measures can be adopted to prevent skin aging. When you step out of your home and go outdoors, make sure you apply sunscreen with sun protection factor (SPF) 15 or higher than that. There are other forces at play that cause skin to age. These include bad weather and poor habits.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Skin aging depends on a range of factors like diet, heredity, lifestyle and poor personal choices. For example, smoking produces free radicals. These are unstable oxygen molecules that are electron scavengers and damage cells leading to what is known as premature aging.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

Image Source:<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\r\n

Wrinkled and spotted skin could be a result of normal aging, exposure to sunlight (photoaging), pollution or loss of support from subcutaneous tissue. Stress, obesity and sleep pattern are all related to skin aging in some or other way. As one grows older, some changes occur naturally like skin becomes rougher and loses its elasticity. Moreover, the skin begins to turn transparent. This happens when epidermis becomes thin due to the flattening of the area near epidermis and lining of the dermis.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Aging can also be explained in a different way; there are three parameters of aging:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. Chronological age<\/span><\/li>\r\n
  2. Biological age<\/span><\/li>\r\n
  3. Psychological age<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

    Chronological age is the number of years a person has lived. Biological age refers to how old a person looks. It depends on several factors like genetics, lifestyle, sleep habits and exercise. Also, it reflects the condition of internal organs and overall fitness. One might get old at the age of 40, while others might experience it at the age of 70. Lastly, psychological age refers to mental age, i.e., how one acts and feels. One, who is at 70, but is still fit, enthusiastic, has a positive attitude towards life, hopeful about future and flexible enough to quickly adapt to changes, should be considered young psychologically.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    Aging Signs \u2014 How to Identify Them Early?<\/span><\/h2>\r\n

    \"How<\/p>\r\n

    Whether natural or premature aging, it brings a lot of changes to our mind and body. Some of these common changes are discussed below:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    Joints and Bones are More Likely to Break:<\/span><\/h3>\r\n

    Weakened bones and joints are common signs of aging. The most common reason for a broken bone among the elderly population is osteoporosis. It is a bone disease which is characterized by low bone mass and density. Consequently, bones and joints become weaker and more prone to breakage. The density of bones decreases due to the body’s decreased ability to absorb calcium from foods. Ligaments that bind the joints together become less elastic and more prone to damage. This happens as cells become less functional. Joints may become susceptible to injuries. It causes the breakdown and eventual loss of the cartilage.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    With aging, vertebral changes are also observed. Head starts bending forward due to pressure on the spine. Difficulty in swallowing might also occur.
    <\/span><\/p>\r\n

    \"\"<\/h3>\r\n

    Image Source:<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\r\n

    Reduced Vision:<\/span><\/h3>\r\n

    After 40, people usually start experiencing difficulties in focusing on close objects\u00a0 due to thickening of the eye lens. This condition is called presbyopia, wherein the lens stiffens. Magnifying glasses are used to correct this eye condition. Due to stiffness of the lens, seeing in dim light also becomes difficult. Macular Degeneration also occurs as a person ages. It affects the central portion of the retina, which may lead to loss in central vision. Ability to distinguish between different colors also diminishes with age. For example, blue may look like gray.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    \"\"<\/h3>\r\n

    Image Source:<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\r\n

    Loss of Hearing:<\/span><\/h3>\r\n

    Nearly one-third of the population, who are above 60, faces issues related to hearing. There are tiny hair cells inside the ear, whose function is to help us hear. The sound waves are picked up by these hair cells. Due to aging, these hair cells get damaged or start to <\/span>die. Hearing loss caused due to this condition is permanent as hair cells do not grow again. Various other conditions can cause age-related hearing problems. These include change in the structure of the ear or impairment in auditory nerves.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    \"\"<\/h3>\r\n

    Image Source:<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\r\n

    Stamina Reduction and Decrease in Strength:<\/span><\/h3>\r\n

    Due to aging, muscle tissues deteriorate, arteries harden, walls of the heart thicken, and heart rate becomes slow. Therefore, it becomes difficult to exercise and carry out strenuous physical tasks with the strength and stamina as one has at the age of 25. Some elderly also develop anemia, i.e., lesser count of red blood cells. Other symptoms of aging are chest pain, dizziness, breath shortness and even fainting.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    \"\"<\/p>\r\n

    Image Source:<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\r\n

    High Blood Pressure:<\/span><\/h3>\r\n

    Hypertension or high blood pressure can also occur due to aging. With age, the blood vessels become less elastic and stiff. This leads to rise in the blood pressure level.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    <\/p>\r\n

    \"\"<\/p>\r\n

    Image Source:<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\r\n

    Loss of Memory:<\/span><\/h3>\r\n

    Forgetfulness is a common symptom of aging. Multitasking becomes difficult as one grows older. Decline in cognitive function is also observed in elderly. Diseases like dementia sets in. Care must be taken for Alzheimer’s disease, which is marked by the inability to learn and retain information. Around 1 out of 8 people in their 70s have Alzheimer’s, and around 45% of people in their 80s face this condition. Aging causes changes in brain size.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    It is believed that aging shrinks the size of the brain. The shrinking of gray matter is due to nerve cell death. White matter starts developing lesions. There exists a strong relation between increasing age and changes in the brain. It is therefore recommended that healthy lifestyle must be followed to prevent brain aging. Plaques (unusual clusters of protein fractions) also form in the brain.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    <\/p>\r\n

    Skin Deterioration:<\/span><\/h3>\r\n

    With age, the skin becomes less elastic, and fine lines and wrinkles start to appear. The skin dries as oil-producing glands in the skin becomes less functional. Skin becomes thinner and loses fat. It undergoes the process of wear and tear. Growth of fingernail also decreases with age.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    \"\"<\/h6>\r\n
    Image Source:<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\r\n

    Sleep Disturbances:<\/span><\/h3>\r\n

    Aging also affects sleep pattern. It is generally difficult for old people to sleep well as they frequently wake up during night. One might not get quality sleep and can\u2019t be able to sleep as much as one could at the age of twenty.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    <\/p>\r\n

    \"\"<\/p>\r\n

    Image Source:<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\r\n

    Height Reduction: <\/span><\/h3>\r\n

    Reduction in height may be observed by as much as 2 inches. This is because of bending of the spine, change in posture and loss of bone density, and weakened joints and bones.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    Reduction in Kidney Functions:<\/span><\/h3>\r\n

    With age, the size and functions of the kidneys decline. Thus, it is advised to drink plenty of water. Toxins, alcohol and unnecessary medicines must be avoided. Atherosclerosis occurs in old age, which is characterized by narrowing of the blood vessels that transport blood to the kidneys. Due to decreased blood flow, the kidneys lose their ability to function at optimal level.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    Urine Incontinence:<\/span><\/h3>\r\n

    Also known as involuntary urination, leakage of urine occurs, especially when a person laughs or coughs. Urinary incontinence becomes more common as a person ages. This is caused due to urinary bladder spasm.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    Bad Effect on Teeth: <\/span><\/h3>\r\n

    About 25% people over the age of 60 wear dentures. This is because teeth undergo degeneration with age. Adults may need to get their teeth implanted and undergo processes like bleaching. People, particularly those, who have not followed healthy teeth practices, are at a higher risk of losing their teeth with age.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    Obesity or Overweight:<\/span><\/h3>\r\n

    About 75% of adults above the age of 60 are overweight. These people are at a greater risk of conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer. Women start accumulating fat around their waist. Moreover, there is a greater number of complaints of arthritis from this section of the elderly population.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    Less-Active Senses: <\/span><\/h3>\r\n

    With age, all the five human senses (five) gradually deteriorate. Vision becomes poorer and generally, people after 45, suffer from glaucoma \u2014 a disease that damages the nerves of the eyes. Untreated glaucoma could result in permanent vision loss. Likewise, hearing ability also decreases, and people use hearing aid to listen well. Skin sensitivity and sense to smell also decrease due to less activity of sensory organs. These are connected to brain through nerve cells. With decreased activity of nerve cells, capability to sense gradually deteriorates.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    <\/p>\r\n

    \"\"<\/h3>\r\n

    Image Source:<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\r\n

    Wrinkled Skin: <\/span><\/h3>\r\n

    Wrinkled skin is the most visible symptom of aging. It looks dull, pale, crumpled and full of lines. The skin becomes thinner, and loose due to reduced production of collagen synthesis. This is caused due to reduced activity of liver and kidney, weakening of digestive and excretory system, and circulatory system.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    Loss of Hair: <\/span><\/h3>\r\n

    Hair loss is another visible sign of aging. Hair on the different parts of the body become less. With aging, especially when you gain some weight, cholesterol level increases. This leads to accumulation of plaques in the arteries, which prevents proper blood flow. Due to this, tiny blood vessels die due to an insufficient amount of blood; thereby causing damage to hair follicles. This results in hair loss.<\/span>

    \"\"<\/h3>\r\n

    Image Source:<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\r\n

    Weakened Nails and Bones: <\/span><\/h3>\r\n

    This indicates lack of calcium in the body. Weakened bones are more prone to breakage, and responsible for joint pains. Weakening of nails makes them brittle and discoloration of the same occurs. Bone is a structural component, thus any damage to it directly affects the internal and external body structures.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    Weakened Internal System: <\/span><\/h3>\r\n

    Internal system of a body consists of various physiological activities like metabolism, respiration, blood purification and circulation, water purification, reproduction, excretion and so on. With age, the whole system becomes weak, and their decreased activity results in many health conditions like breathing trouble, cardiovascular diseases and renal disorders. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    \"\"<\/h3>\r\n

    Image Source:<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\r\n

    Lowered Activity of Hormones: <\/span><\/h3>\r\n

    Reduced activity of\u00a0hormones has a direct impact on the rest of the endocrine system. Hormones related to reproduction, become absent in both men and women with the aging.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    Image Source:<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\r\n

    Psychological Changes: <\/span><\/h3>\r\n

    When a person ages, lots of emotional changes are observed. Lack of independence and inability to perform day-to-day tasks along with memory loss and reduced vision bring considerable psychological changes among elderly. Sometimes, negative emotions or negligence result in depression and other mental health problems. This directly affects our physiology and may lead\u00a0to various health conditions, such as high blood pressure, inadequate sleep, hormonal imbalances and Alzheimer’s disease. Psychological aspect is as important as physical aspects of aging because the former has a direct link to the latter.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
