Aging: Late Adulthood

The aging process often results in a loss of memory, deteriorated intellectual function, decreased mobility, and higher rates of disease.

Cognitive abilities such as memory may see a decline in late adulthood.

Growing older means confronting many psychological, emotional, and social issues that come with entering the last phase of life.

Depending on culture, aging can be seen as an undesirable phenomenon or as an accumulation of wisdom and status.
