2. 2 QUICK FACTS ABOUT AGEING At the biological level, ageing results from the impact of the accumulation of a wide variety of molecular and cellular damage over time. Ageing leads to a gradual decrease in physical and mental capacity, a growing risk of disease and ultimately death. Changes due to ageing are neither linear nor consistent, and they are only loosely associated with a person’s age in years.

3. A GE I N G Human aging process involves multidimensional changes on the following: Physical Psychological Cultural Social 3

4. Trillions of cells in our body are constantly changing, some get destroyed or die and at the same time new cells are formed every minute. Cell death is the event of a biological cell ceasing to carry out its functions. Anything that affects the cells kill the entire body. 4 What happens When We Age? Source: Science Direct

5. 5 HOW CELL DEATH OCCURS Every day, more than 50 billion cells die in our bodies. Cell death has 2 major kinds: 1 . Programmed Cell Death The cell ceases to carry out its functions and dies to be replaced by new ones. This type of cell death is further categorized into: a. Apoptosis b. Autophagy 2. Necrosis: This cell death is due to factors such as disease and injury.

6. THE AGING PROCESS 6

7. When Does Ageing Begin? Ageing begins the day we are born No single measure of how “old” a person is Ageing is highly individualized Ageing proceeds at different rates in different people, and within different systems of the body Source: MPR News

8. Why Do People Age? No single theory adequately describes the aging process but many theories including: Hereditary Factors Loss of cellular mass and ability of cells to divide and replicate Accumulation of waste materials that clog cells and cause them to die Changes in structure of connective tissue

10. Aging Process - Causes 1 . Cellular Changes Cellular multiplication slows down with age. The rate of formation of T-lymphocytes of the immune system decreases with age. This makes the body susceptible to diseases. Immune breakdown triggers the human aging process, as the body is now vulnerable to a large number of diseases. 10 Source: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

11. 2. Genetic Factors The genes associated with the mechanism of programmed cell death or apoptosis also affects aging in individuals 11 Source: Scientific America

12. 3. Environmental Factors Environmental stress associated with exposure to excessive heat and light trigger the activity of aging genes. Constant exposure to toxins and poisons accentuate the aging process. Poor oxygen conditions and malnutrition are also responsible for early aging. 12 Source: dreamstimes.com

13. 4. Health Conditions There are certain genetic disorders that completely change the phenotype of an individual. (Hutchinson-Gilford Syndrome, Down Syndrome and Werner’s Syndrome) They look much older than their age. Osteoporosis and arthritis - aging process in women. Parkinson's disease – certain toxins -degenerate the neurons that hinders the memory of brain. Alzheimer’s disease, a substance - amyloid is produced that destroys the brain cells. All these interferes with the normal aging process. 13

14. 5. Unhealthy Lifestyle  . Aging process in men Over consumption of alcohol and heavy smoking. Lack of exercise, inadequate rest or sleep, mental stress. Regular consumption of excessive spicy food and caffeine renders an old look. Sloth and sluggish lifestyle makes one feel old 14

15. Normal Changes of Ageing Physical changes related to “Normal” ageing ARE NOT disease Changes occur in most body systems include: Sensory System Brain and Central Nervous System Muscles and Bones Digestion Heart/Circulatory System Respiratory System

16. What Happens to our Brain as We Age ? Some parts of the brain shrink , others remain stable as we age. Impairment of the brain to encode or decode new memories and facts. The act of processing speed and reflexes decline. 16

17. What happens to our skin and hair as we age? 17 This part of aging is visible and very prominent Skin begins to develop wrinkles and dark spot (age spots) The ability of skin to produce oils reduces resulting in dry and lusterless skin Hair becomes thinner than normal and the changes in hair colour from gray initially to turning white eventually the they start falling down-baldness PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH

18. What Happens to Our Bones as We Age? The friction between the joints increases ( lubrication reduced) causing pain on movement. The bones become porous with constant loss of density and strength. Bones reservoirs of minerals ( calcium and phosphorus). – depletes - making bones fragile and weak. 18

19.  What Happens to Our Vision as We Age? 19 The retinas become thinner Sharpness of viewing objects at a distance is impaired Objects placed at a distance appear blurred Pupils become less responsive and more sensitive to glare. Cataracts and glaucoma are common.

22. Common Analogy The body is like a high-performance race car. Food is like fuel. The body (car) needs high quality food (fuel) to keep it running its best. Unfortunately, there are serious problems with this overly-simplified analogy.

23. Nutrients Substances the body needs to… regulate body functions repair body tissues promote growth obtain energy Most nutrients come from the food we eat. When we think of food simply as “fuel,” it’s easy to forget that we are eating for other reasons too.
