!Review Kennedy and Dunphy readings for age related changes ReP.licative senescence is theory states that cells can replicate or divide a specific number of times.This ability tends to decrease with age.Oxidative damage is the cumulative result of the aerobic metabolism , which generates chemicals called free radicals. Free radicals may interact with other chemicals in the body and cause damage to cells.Telomere shortening is a theory that links aging to a reduction in cell division.M'eakening of the immune response leaves older adults more vulnerable to infection and debilitating diseases.

Age related Change Functional Change Implications lntegumentary System Loss of dermal and epidermal thickness
Decreased vascularity Loss of subcutaneous tissue and thin epidermis.
• Atrophy of sweat glands resulting in decreased sweat production
• Decreased body odor
• Decreased heat loss
• Dryness Prone to skin breakdown and lllJ Ury
• Alteration in thermoregulatory response
• Fluid requirements may change seasonally
• Loss of skin water
• Increased risk of heat stroke
Respiratory System
Decreased lung tissue elasticity
Cilia atrophy
Decreased respiratory muscle strength
Decreased vital capacity
Change in mucociliary transport
• Reduced ability to handle secretions and reduced effectiveness against noxious foreign particles
• Partial inflation of lungs at rest
Reduced overall efficiency of ventilatory exchange
Increased susceptibility to infection
Increased risk of atelectasis
