| | | Aging is the result of a combination of natural, largely
genetically programmed changes occurring in all body systems. Diseases or
injuries may influence these changes, which impair the body's homeostatic
mechanisms. A person's environment and lifestyle also affect the ageing
process. The effects of ageing include: cessation of menstruation,
wrinkling of the skin because of a loss of elastic tissue; failing memory
(especially short term) and less ability to learn new skills along with
slowed responses - changes caused by the loss of or less efficient working
of nerve cells; the senses become less acute; the lungs become less
efficient as does heart muscle, both causing a fall in exercise tolerance;
arteries harden, which results in a rise in blood pressure and poor blood
circulation; joints are less mobile, bones become more brittle
(osteoporosis) and muscle bulk and strength are reduced; the lens
of the eye becomes less elastic, resulting in poorer sight, and it may
also become opaque (cataract).
In developed countries people
are living longer, in part because infant and child mortality rates have
dropped dramatically over the past 100 years or so. Improved standards of
living and more effective health care have also contributed to greater
longevity. The proportion of people over 65 years of age has greatly
increased and that of the over 75s is still rising. In 1952, 255 people in
the United Kingdom became centenarians: by 1996 that figure had reached
more than 5,200. This extreme longevity is attributed to a particular gene
slowing the ageing process. Interestingly, those living to 100 often
retain the mental faculties of people in their 60s and examination of
centenarians' brains show that these are similar to those of 60-year-olds.
