Changes associated with ageing in major organ systems
Overview
- Physiological ageing produces measurable, predictable changes across major organ systems, distinct from disease - understanding these changes is essential to distinguish normal ageing from pathology and to anticipate altered physiological reserve
- These changes are universal (occurring in everyone who ages) but highly variable in rate and severity between individuals - chronological age is a poor proxy for physiological/biological age
