age-related changes
Time's bodily toll
Age-related changes are the physical and mental alterations that occur as a person grows older.
The phrase appears frequently in medical and gerontological contexts: age-related changes in vision, age-related changes to the cardiovascular system.
It serves as a neutral, clinical way to discuss decline without using words like deterioration or degeneration.
