Pls help me (it's psyc life span birth to death)

Information: Researchers distinguish between primary aging and secondary aging. Primary aging is the normal, irreversible, biological changes that occur universally in all organisms. Secondary aging is the result of disease, hereditary defects, or environmental factors.

Although aging looks different in each individual, the deteriorative processes of primary aging are the same. As all cells age, their structural framework gets stiffer and thicker. They have a harder time communicating with each other and generating enough energy to perform their tasks. Gradually, these tiny changes accumulate, and over time, cells and whatever organs they make up break down and/or become less efficient.

While there is no way to prevent primary aging, some aspects of secondary aging are less inevitable. Some contributors to secondary aging, such as an inherited tendency toward a particular disease or health problem, environmental pollution or contamination where one lives, or lack of education about dangerous substances, are not necessarily the result of an individual’s negligence. However, other secondary aging influences, such as smoking, lack of exercise, poor eating and sleeping habits, or disregarding medical advice, are factors that are presumably within an individual’s control. Researchers and health care and public health professionals put a great deal of energy toward minimizing or even preventing secondary aging factors.

QUESTION: In the space below, write a quick description of how you think primary and secondary aging will one day affect you.

Explanation / Answer

I think primary aging would affect in my old age through less vision since I already have vision problem as well as reduced adaptibility to stress since I have the tendency to panic at small things and get anxios when things dont go my ways. Secondary aging could affect me by developing either diabetes or thyroid since I have a family history of it.It is very likely that it might develop in me later in life.I guess,also because I exercise less that could be another factor contributing to it and even arthiritis problem.Since all women in my family are suffering from it. Necessary lifestyle changes need to be made to avoid these problems or atleast control them.
