‘Aging’ Meet the Best Psychiatrists - Dr. Anuja Kelkar (MBBS, MD)

 

Aging is a natural biological process characterized by the gradual decline in physiological functions and organ systems over time. It is influenced by genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. As individuals age, various changes occur throughout the body, including:

1. **Physical Changes:** These can involve loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia), decreased bone density (osteoporosis), and changes in skin elasticity and appearance.

2. **Cognitive Changes:** Mild cognitive decline can occur with aging, affecting memory, processing speed, and ability to multitask. However, severe cognitive impairment like dementia is not a normal part of aging.

3. **Sensory Changes:** Hearing and vision may decline, requiring corrective aids such as hearing aids or glasses.

4. **Metabolic Changes:** Metabolism slows down, leading to potential weight gain and changes in energy levels.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, balanced nutrition, adequate sleep, and social engagement can help mitigate some effects of aging. While aging is inevitable, healthy habits can contribute to overall well-being and quality of life in older adults.
