Detailed explanation-1: -Your bones, joints and muscles With age, bones tend to shrink in size and density, weakening them and making them more susceptible to fracture. You might even become a bit shorter. Muscles generally lose strength, endurance and flexibility-factors that can affect your coordination, stability and balance.

Detailed explanation-2: -As individuals age, the likelihood of infections and diseases increases. This can be because of changes to organs such as the heart and the musculoskeletal system. Along with this stamina, strength and suppleness starts to decline, alongside mobility and use of fine motor skills that control coordination and dexterity.

Detailed explanation-3: -During early adulthood stage an individual reaches physical maturity (by the age of 28). This is known as maturation. Adults have reached their peak level of physical strength and their full height and weight by this time. As the adult reaches the end of this life stage, stamina and strength start to slowly decline.

Detailed explanation-4: -New study says decline begins in our 50s Researchers with Duke University’s School of Medicine suggest that physical decline begins in the decade of the 50s and worsens as we age, especially for those who don’t exercise.
