Genetics, Geriatrics and Neuropsychology of Alzheimer
At the molecular and cellular level, ageing is caused by the accumulation of a range of molecular and cellular damage throughout time. This results in a gradual loss of physical and mental capacity, increased disease risk, and eventually, death. However, these changes are not linear or consistent, and they are only tangentially related to a person's chronological age. It is about creating conditions and opportunities that allow people to be and do what they value throughout their lives to achieve healthy ageing. Being free of disease or infirmity is not a requirement for healthy ageing, as many older adults have one or more health conditions that, when well controlled, have little impact on their wellbeing.
