MOSCOW, October 1 - RIA Novosti. The first signs of age-related changes in the human body can appear as early as 25-30 years old, said Alexey Umryukhin, Doctor of Medical Sciences, head of the Department of Normal Physiology at Sechenov University, noting that the main aging processes occur after 45 years.
International Day of Older Persons is celebrated on October 1st.
“Initial signs of age-associated changes can appear as early as 25–30 years. However, changes that are traditionally associated with aging of the body, for example, clouding of the lens, or presbyopia (age-related farsightedness), usually make themselves felt after 45 years,” Umryukhin said.
According to him, a more noticeable decline in body functions, for example, significant atherosclerotic changes in blood vessels, begins over the age of 50 years. At the same time, lifestyle, physical activity and the psycho-emotional sphere have a great influence on the rate of development of age-associated changes.
“One of the key factors that determines the rate of aging is stress and recovery from it. If stress associated, for example, with work, ends in achieving a positive result, the body trains and builds up reserve capabilities. If stress becomes chronic and does not find a way out, it destroys resources,” he clarified.
