Additional Info

Aging is a period of great change, physiological change, social change, and occupational change.

Aging is characterized by the gradual loss of physiological integrity of the body, leading to dysfunction and increased risk of death. This deterioration is a major risk factor for main human pathologies including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases.

Body aging is a physiological process accompanied by regular changes, the nature of which is programmed by heredity. This process involves a change in the mechanisms of the body, which leads to an impairment of homeostasis and an increase in age-related destabilization of vital functions. The aging process can be characterized by the following definition: “depletion of the body’s internal resources”. Due to that, with age, in elderly, aging and exhaustion of all body systems are observed.
