Aging Physiological (Senescence)

Physiological aging is the aging process characterized by a decrease in physical and mental abilities.

As the body ages, changes occur at the cellular and molecular levels, which lead to a decrease in the functioning of various systems. For example, with age, the elasticity of blood vessels decreases and the contractility of the myocardium decreases. The regenerative properties of tissues also deteriorate.

The key signs of physiological aging include:

  1. Decreased physical activity and endurance
  2. Weakened vision and hearing
  3. Deterioration of memory and cognitive functions
  4. Loss of muscle mass and bone density
  5. Changes in skin structure, appearance of wrinkles

The aging process is different for each person. However, physiological aging inevitably leads to a decrease in the vitality of the organism and its adaptive capabilities. Although it is impossible to completely stop this process, a healthy lifestyle and disease prevention help slow the rate of aging and maintain quality of life in old age.



Aging is a natural biological process characterized by a gradual decline in the vital functions of the body. Physiological aging (senescence) is caused by exposure to internal and external factors throughout life.

The main signs of physiological aging:

  1. Decreased physical activity and endurance due to decreased muscle mass.

  2. Weakening of vision, hearing, smell and other senses.

  3. Deterioration of memory and cognitive abilities.

  4. Increased fatigue and decreased performance.

  5. Changes in appearance: wrinkles, gray hair, hair loss.

  6. Decreased immunity and increased susceptibility to diseases.

The process of physiological aging is individual for each person. However, a healthy lifestyle, healthy diet and activity can slow down this natural decline of the body.



Physiological aging (Senescence) is a process of gradual decline in the vital functions of the body, which leads to aging. This process is characterized by a number of changes at the cellular, tissue and system levels, which ultimately manifests itself in a decrease in physical and mental abilities.

The main signs of physiological aging:

  1. Decreased muscle mass and strength (sarcopenia)

  2. Deterioration of vision and hearing

  3. Decreased cognitive functions (memory, attention, speed of thinking)

  4. Decreased skin elasticity, appearance of wrinkles

  5. Decreased immunity

  6. Increased risk of developing age-related diseases (atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease, etc.)

The aging process is triggered at the genetic level, but its intensity is influenced by external factors, such as lifestyle, nutrition, and environment. Physiological aging can be slowed down through a healthy lifestyle and prevention of age-associated diseases.
