Early adulthood spans the ages 20–40), during this period, our physical abilities are at their peak, including muscle strength, reaction time, sensory abilities, and cardiac functioning. With this advancement in age comes aging. The aging process begins and is characterized by changes in skin, vision, and reproductive capability Aging is comprised of primary and secondary aging, Primary aging refers to changes that occur on a molecular and cellular level within the body; these type of changes are an unavoidable part of aging. Secondary aging is aging that occurs due to lack of exercise or poor nutrition.
Around the age of 30, changes related to aging start to occur in the body, Vision is one of the significant changes, as during this time the
Aging that can not be helped like cells changing and, biological changes are called primary aging. The opposite of primary aging would be attributed to something like not enough exercise or lack of vitamins would be secondary aging. The chapter explains that a yound adult gains new responsibilities when they reach adulthood and the opposite is true once you reach the golden years. Elderly people soon hit retirement where they get pulled out of their paying jobs to be put on government support. This occurrence was very different from how it used to be.
L1: Know about the Ageing Process. 1.1: Describe the physical, psychological, social and emotional changes that an individual may experience as a result of ageing. Aging is another stage in the human life. It is synonymous to other life stages like childhood, adolescence and adulthood. The process of aging affects all people differently and is highly dependent on genes (hereditary), attitudes and lifestyle (CPA, 2009).
Aging is a journey one which leads to really find and become comfortable with our true selves. As I age and as I watch my grandmother age, I have realized that time has a way of changing people. What think was impossible to conquer becomes possible over time. The material possessions that we once value just become small things. What matters the most is family and our faith.
A physical development in middle adulthood is about all situations of the gradual changes under way in early adulthood. Hair grays and thins, new lines appear on the face, less youthful body shape is evident, these are same changes in the middle adulthood but how past the time our body and physical changes. The vision, hearing, skin and muscle, fat makeup make a change each one has different changes in each person, but no all persons has the same change or in the same age everybody has different reactions. The middle adulthood is a difficult situation for some people because last physical the most important things in their life, the vision can lost for the work, diseases. The haring also can be a changes can lost all the hearing or just partial,
These concepts are very important to the Late Adulthood state of development because as we understand them, we can begin to observe the declining physical health in these people and predict and prepare for the future health concerns that can arise. We can also take these idea and apply them to their emotional and mental health as well. If we are able to identify and recognize and look for certain behaviors, we can identify the quality and of the person’s life as well as their self esteem as they continue to age to help them progress through their age with confidence and
With the undeniable truth, everyone must age and grow older. Although this is a natural process of life, not everyone is accepting of this. At this age, being an older adult you face difficulties such as aging, sexuality, relationship dynamics and having to face reality that you are not in your prime as you once were. Heart attacks, strokes, and other ailments are examples of this. However, just as there younger counterparts they still able to do somethings they were able to do in their earlier stages.
Transition from Adolescence to Adulthood Being in Ty is scary. You feel left out, caught in the middle. You feel like you don’t belong, an outcast maybe? We begin to realize we are growing up. The vast weight of the world begins to fall on your shoulders.
People always say falling is part of growing up, as they say. Unfortunately, when we reach the age of 65 and above, falling may lead to injuries such as factures and head injury, which could affect and disrupt our normal activity and lifestyle. Why fall prevention is so important in hospital? As we grow older, our body system may change or deteriorate, it would follow our age then our bones, muscles and so on will “grow older” as well.
For us this means that we will one day have trouble being able to move and being able to do our daily objectives. While we get older we will have trouble remembering stuff also. “there might be factors in the young blood that can produce globally regenerating effects in older animals.” (Frazer). The young blood seems to contain an element that will help the reverse the effects of aging in the older animals.
This is also when decline in the bodily functions begins (Travers and Dacey, 1996). According to Berk (2007), apects such as the skin, cadiovascular, respiratory, muscular and immune systems gradually decline as one gets older. Degeneration of sensory organs and the nervous system degeneration is less gradual and accelerates in middle age. In ‘Adult Development & Aging’ Susan Krauss Whitbourne (2001) highlights that physical decline can result in decreased sense of ability in the elderly (as cited in Hewstone et al., 2005, p. 216.) Numerous physical illnesses and psychological diorders such as emphysema and dimentia are linked to adulthood as a result of physical decline.(Berk,

Late Adulthood is the stage of the human life cycle where an individual nears the end of their life. The life expectancy in the United States has slowly increased over the years therefore allowed many to further analyze the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development during late adulthood. The stage of late adulthood has been emphasized by ageism and the stereotypical "old" person but, will be further educated by the normative development of the life cycle of late adulthood. For the “old” experience dramatic changes in their development as they face loss, death, and illness.
CHANGING CARE NEEDS THROUGH LIFE STAGES The aim of this assignment is to discuss in general the physical, intellectual, emotional and social development of a person in late adulthood. This will be completed by going through each heading and describing the different elements of each stage. Following that, I will compare *the norm* with a lady called Margaret.
Disability is an umbrella term associated to a human condition that implies decrease or impairment in functional capacity that restricts the execution of tasks or actions in life situations (WHO, 2015). According to the World Population Ageing report (United Nations, 2013), the number of older people over 60 years old will continue growing; is expected to more than double, from 841 million people in 2013 to more than 2 billion in 2050, which represents 21.1% of global population. Older people experience disabilities due to aging such as decreasing of their physical, sensory and cognitive capabilities (WHO, National Institute of Aging, National Institute of Health, 2011). These impairments are (W3C, 2008): • Gradual hearing loss.
When someone transitions into adulthood, it 's not measured by what they accomplished or what they achieved, but by the event that resulted in the progression to adulthood. I believe that the transition is the point at which everything in that person 's life changes forever. My experience may not be killing my first deer, or getting a tattoo, but I believe that when I stepped foot in my first job, everything changed. My first job was to be a locker boy at Sunny Atlantic Beach Club, and I couldn 't have been more nervous.
