Ageing
Ageing is a natural and complex biological process that occurs in all living organisms. It is characterized by a gradual decline in physiological functions, cellular integrity, and the ability to maintain homeostasis, ultimately leading to increased vulnerability to diseases and mortality. Ageing is influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. While it is an inevitable part of life, scientific advancements have explored ways to enhance longevity and improve the quality of life for ageing individuals. The study of ageing, known as gerontology, seeks to understand the biological mechanisms behind ageing, as well as its social and psychological implications. With an increasing global ageing population, understanding the ageing process has become crucial for healthcare, economic planning, and societal development.

Ageing is an inevitable and multifaceted process that affects individuals physically, mentally, and socially. While advancements in medicine and technology have extended human lifespan, the focus has shifted towards ensuring a higher quality of life in old age. Through proper healthcare, nutrition, and lifestyle choices, it is possible to promote healthy ageing and mitigate age-related diseases. Societies must also adapt to an ageing population by improving healthcare infrastructure, promoting social inclusion, and developing policies that support the elderly. As research continues to uncover the complexities of ageing, a balanced approach that combines scientific innovations with holistic well-being practices will be key to addressing the challenges and opportunities of an ageing population.
