Aging is characterized by a progressive loss of physiological integrity, leading to impaired function and increased vulnerability to death. The hallmarks of aging are the types of biochemical changes that occur in all organisms that experience biological aging and lead to a progressive loss of physiological integrity, impaired function and, eventually, death.
Senescence (/ s ɪ ˈ n ɛ s ə n s /) or biological aging is the gradual deterioration of functional characteristics in living organisms. Whole organism senescence involves an increase in death rates or a decrease in fecundity with increasing age, at least in the later part of an organism's life cycle .
According to the National Institute on Aging, “participating in the arts may improve the health, well-being, and independence of older adults, and help with memory and self-esteem.” Gerard ...
Here are signs your body may be aging early and how to prevent these changes. Some people age faster than others, often due to lifestyle factors. Is your body aging normally? 7 signs to look for
Researchers found that people worldwide live 9.6 years longer than they are healthy — and in the U.S. the gap is more than 12 years.
Some tortoises show negligible senescence. Negligible senescence is a term coined by biogerontologist Caleb Finch to denote organisms that do not exhibit evidence of biological aging (), such as measurable reductions in their reproductive capability, measurable functional decline, or rising death rates with age.

Aging research is helping us understand the deep biological implications of this advice. Eating a variety of healthy foods in moderation can prevent the health risks of obesity.
