Question

Explain the following concept with example.

Ageing

Answer 1

Ageing implies changes in the body and mind of a person along with its gradual impact on social life and life style. Ageing is a natural and inevitable process.

Example: Transformation of an adult to being an elderly person

Answer 2

Ageing is universal, it occurs in all members of the population, unlike disease.

Example: 

1. India's population is ageing rapidly as a result of a long-term trend, and as people get older, their physical, mental, and emotional health declines.
2. Elderly people require additional love and care from family members, but instead of this, they increasingly experience loneliness and neglect.
3. Elderly people occasionally experience cruelty, abuse, and harassment from family members; sometimes this is due to financial reasons, but there are also other factors that contribute to domestic abuse and violence.
4. Additionally, significant mental health problems like anxiety and depression affect older people. The elderly occasionally lack access to either physical or mental health care.
