There are numerous effects of human ageing, and even though the symptoms
seem to vary from person to person, almost all the symptoms appear in humans if
they live long enough. My analysis lays out the various effects that aging has on
humans, and then goes on to analyze each effect. My paper is not a
comprehensive analysis of all the effects of aging, as I have only covered the most
common symptoms.

A child often has the ability to hear high-pitched sounds. Many teenagers lose
their ability to hear high-frequency noises above 20 kHz. Most fully-grown adults

By a person’s mid-twenties, there is reasonable evidence that cognitive decline
begins to occur. This is also true of people who are in long-term education and

Over time, a person will develop wrinkles. The severity of the wrinkles seems to
be linked with areas of skin that are exposed to sunlight, but it the number of
smaller muscles and tendons may also have an effect on how many wrinkles are
present. (Finkel & Reynolds, 2013).

Females become infertile first, but even fertile men are sometimes unable to
reproduce because of the physical effects of aging, such as erectile dysfunction.
(Thurstan, Gibbs, & Langton, 2012).
