Physical changes can affect the lives of the elderly through :

- sickness ( makes the body weak )

- diseases ( diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure)

- no longer look the same ( balding, frail, wrinkles, sagging skin).

- don't move as easy ( have to have assistance, a cane, can't run or walk as much)

well that is simple. when a person begins to age a lot of times they are not able to do as much for themselves as they used to. their lives will be changed because they will need assistance from someone to complete their daily tasks.
