What are psychological and physical hazards of old age?



Answer:
Some of the physical changes associated with old age are decline in health and decline in ability (both physical and cognitive). Other more obvious physical changes include hair loss, weight gain/loss of muscle mass, wrinkling, and shrinking (becoming shorter). Some psychological issues may include coping with the loss of independence and the loss of peers to illness or death.
