Aging refers to the natural, gradual process of physical and mental change that occurs over time as an individual grows older. This process is characterized by a decline in bodily functions, such as loss of muscle mass and strength, reduced cognitive function, and increased susceptibility to disease and injury. While aging is a normal and inevitable part of the human experience, the rate and severity of aging can be influenced by various genetic or environmental factors.
