age-related decline
Deterioration with years
Age-related decline refers to the gradual deterioration of physical or mental functions that occurs naturally as people grow older.
The phrase appears in medical and everyday contexts: age-related cognitive decline, age-related decline in muscle mass.
It describes what happens rather than why, covering everything from slower reflexes to diminished memory to reduced bone density.
