With aging, there are changes that are bound to happen in every human’s integumentary system.There has been an error processing your requestThere has been an error processing your request-
Aging is a universal occurrence that happens within biological and genetic constraints and is inherent in the individual. Regardless of color, gender, ethnicity, or geographic region, we all age. However, the variability of the aging process among individuals is not only dependent on our biological and genetic blueprint but is also heavily influenced by other factors such as (1) our lifestyle choices and behaviors throughout our lives; and (2) our proximal contexts or environments, which affect us such as our integumentary system.-
Primary aging is accompanied with visible changes. As we age, our integumentary system begin to decrease in number, stiffen, break apart, and disorganize into a shapeless, matted tangled and lose some of their elasticity, thicken into clumps, and fray, an effect that is greatly accelerated in the skin of smokers.

The article points out that our integumentary system is inevitably affected with aging. It is inevitable and our human nature to age. Thus, when we began to age, we expect visible changes especially to our body.
