The physiology of aging examines how organ systems change functionally with advancing age. Common physiological changes include reduced cardiovascular efficiency, declining lung capacity, slower metabolic rate, decreased renal function, and altered endocrine signaling. The nervous and immune systems also undergo age-related remodeling, leading to cognitive decline and immunosenescence. These physiological changes reduce resilience to stress and increase vulnerability to illness. Importantly, many age-related physiological declines are influenced by lifestyle and can be delayed through physical activity, nutrition, and preventive healthcare. Understanding the physiology of aging supports clinical strategies aimed at maintaining functional independence and quality of life in older adults.
