The environments that people live in as children or even as developing fetuses combined with their personal characteristics, have long-term effects on how they age.
Normal, age-related changes include hearing impairment, weakening vision, and the increasing probability of arthritis, hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, memory loss, and osteoporosis.
Therefore, research needs to integrate these technical, personal, and social (i.e., age-related) issues to understand their implications for successful aging at work that is, employees' well-being, work ability, and performance.
It happens for many reasons, including cell senescence, environmental damage, faulty proteins, gene changes and a decrease in your bodys ability to repair itself. Tissue loss, reduced blood flow, hormone changes and inflammation can affect every part of your body as you age. You cant avoid aging.
Social determinants of health (SDOH) are the conditions in the environments where people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks.
We all want to maintain good health as we get older. Learn what research tells us about how to take care of our physical, mental, and cognitive health as we age.
