Ageing (British and Australian English) or aging (American and Canadian English) is the accumulation of changes in an organism or object over time. Ageing in humans refers to a multidimensional process of physical, psychological, and social change. Some dimensions of ageing grow and expand over time, while others decline. Reaction time, for example, may slow with age, while knowledge of world events and wisdom may expand. Research shows that even late in life potential exists for physical, mental, and social growth and development. Ageing is an important part of all human societies reflecting the biological changes that occur, but also reflecting cultural and societal conventions. Age is usually measured in full years — and months for young children. A person's birthday is often an important event. Roughly 100,000 people worldwide die each day of age-related causes.

The term "ageing" is somewhat ambiguous. Distinctions may be made between "universal ageing" (age changes that all people share) and "probabilistic ageing" (age changes that may happen to some, but not all people as they grow older, such as the onset of type two diabetes). Chronological ageing, referring to how old a person is, is arguably the most straightforward definition of ageing and may be distinguished from "social ageing" (society's expectations of how people should act as they grow older) and "biological ageing" (an organism's physical state as it ages). There is also a distinction between "proximal ageing" (age-based effects that come about because of factors in the recent past) and "distal ageing" (age-based differences that can be traced back to a cause early in person's life, such as childhood poliomyelitis).

Differences are sometimes made between populations of elderly people. Divisions are sometimes made between the young old (65–74), the middle old (75–84) and the oldest old (85+). However, problematic in this is that chronological age does not correlate perfectly with functional age, i.e. two people may be of the same age, but differ in their mental and physical capacities. Each nation, government and non-government organization has different ways of classifying age.

Population ageing is the increase in the number and proportion of older people in society. Population ageing has three possible causes: migration, longer life expectancy (decreased death rate), and decreased birth rate. Ageing has a significant impact on society. Young people tend to commit most crimes, they are more likely to push for political and social change, to develop and adopt new technologies, and to need education. Older people have different requirements from society and government as opposed to young people, and frequently differing values as well. Older people are also far more likely to vote, and in many countries the young are forbidden from voting. Thus, the aged have comparatively more political influence.

What are the best, non-surgical, ways to combat the signs of aging?
Q. I am looking for creams, lotions or something along those lines, I don't want to have any surgeries or injections. I am in my early 30's and starting to notice some signs of aging. I would actually like to have something that works fairly quickly, to see great results in 4-5 weeks. And also something to maintain that and to help prevent getting more. Areas of concern are of course the face and also the thighs/buttocks, stomach, neck area. Thank you for any help. How about Hydroderm, does anyone know if it works like they say it does?

A. You don't need any of those expensive, unnatural, potentially harmful procedures and if you do an Answers Search for OTC lotions, creams, etc you will see they have been ineffective. There is a SAFE, NATURAL, low cost, remarkably effective treatment that has been chosen 5 star Best Answer. It cured my hypersensitive skin of my many skin problems permanently and gave me a flawless, blemish free, healthy skin. It also remarkably diminished wrinkles and lines and reversed skin aging. It also removes age spots and discolorations. Use an organic or pure natural oil - olive or coconut are good - regularly massage (everyday is best) with a quite strong, vigorous motion. IT'S the key to it working. Do at night as it makes face flushed. Skin… [cont.]

What medical treatment is known and available to slow down the effects of aging?
Q. With all the biological investigations on the go, surely theire are medicines which slow down the aging process, only it seems they are not made readily public, sort of someone is trying to hide them. Who has got inside information?
Asked by Nervi - Fri May 12 11:31:25 2006 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. This advice applies to people who are 40+ years old: Anything that stimulates Human Growth Hormone (HGH) will slow the aging process. While there are HGH products available, I wouldn't recommend using them without a physician's involvement. At the very least, find out what your HGH levels are first. Your goal is to achieve HGH levels that are considered optimal for a healthy 35 year old...regardless of your own chronologic age. Levels ABOVE that norm may not be healthy, so don't get carried away. Intense aerobic activity and anaerobic activity stimulates HGH production. Another safe do-it-yourself approach is using some combination of DHEA (less than 100 mg / day) and stacked amino acid supplementation. These are "precursors" to HGH.… [cont.]

How to stop aging on a specific person in the Sims 3?
Q. I have this family on the Sims 3, husband, wife, and 2 kids. The husband is still in the "young adult" phase, but the wife is turning old in 0 days! Is there any way that I can stop aging on her, and leave all the rest to keep on getting older (cause I also have a toddler and a baby in the family). So, the option anti-aging will not work for me... Please help!
Asked by Danielle - Tue Nov 10 04:17:02 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. you can increase their life span by going into options and clicking on the 3rd tab in, you can set the sims lifespan to 960 sim days. hope this helped! then if you want the sims to age up quicker you can buy a birthday cake and have them blow out the candles.
