    gradual decline in biological function and increased disease susceptibility

    Aging, also known as senescence, is the biological process of becoming older and involves a gradual decline in physiological function and the increased likelihood of age-related diseases. This process is influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, and it affects various systems in the body, including the skin, hair, and internal organs.
