5 Blue Identified physical and mental changes from adulthood to old age.

Mrs Diaz

In science today, we looked at the changes from adulthood to old age. We looked at some pictures of celebrities and their aging process, identifying their changes throughout the years. We looked at different age processes and we learnt that our bone mass is stronger in our 20s and declines the older we get.

When you are older your more inclined to loose your hair, your hair colour changes, your hearing and eye sight deteriorates and your skin becomes more wrinkled. The reasons why these elements happen with age is to do with our hormones, genes, immune system and general wear and tear. Scientists are still studying the human body to find out why our bodies go through these processes.


What do you think happens to our bodies as we age?

    As we grow up you get old and your hair will become a bit grey and less

    As we age, our bodies age with us so our bones will become more thinner and fragile and your hair will become grey. Your senses weaken as you age as well.

    We can become more frail and lose hair which is more common for men. You can also get diseases like dementia and cancer at old ages. You can have cancer from a young age but people usually get dementia when they are old. As you age, you can start to lose your ability to listen to things or see things. Your skin will become more wrinkled and dry as you get older. A common thing is that your hair colour changes, for example from black or brown to white or grey. When your hair starts to turn grey people are usually in their 30’s, this is why a lot of women dye their their hair. For some people, their hair can also turn white. Your hair colour can also change at a young age. You will get a couple of different coloured strands at first but then gradually, your hair will become a different colour.

    As we age, it is common for hair loss ( more common in men) and hair colour to fade, our spines get less functional, your sense of sight and hearing starts to deteriorate and your skin gains wrinkles.
