Aging is a series of time-dependent anatomical, physiological, and psychological changes that diminish physiological reserve and functional capacity and that produce emotional transformations. Differences in aging are genetically determined in part, but there is also a substantial environmental component. These environmental factors can include nutrition, lifestyle choices, and toxins in the environment. Primary aging relates to the genetic components of aging, while secondary aging focuses on environmental factors. There are numerous Research Starter articles related to the topic of aging.
