We start out as children, and we gradually accrue various changes in our
characteristics.
Children are susceptible to the environment and must be protected. In the case of humans, we probably peak in our mid-20s.
We hold our own for a while, then at some point, perhaps in our mid-40s, we start to decline.
Some people would say we actually begin to decline at age 30. It depends on the system that you track.
The skin is often where we first notice the outward signs of the aging process.
Old age is another period when the balance favors the environment; older people need help in protecting themselves.
The frailty we associate with old age is basically the loss of autonomy, the inability to withstand external pressures and perturbations.
