Effects of aging on the respiratory system
-
The effects of aging on the respiratory system are similar to those that occur in other organs: maximum function gradually declines. Age-related changes in the lungs include
- Decreases in peak airflow and gas exchange
- Decreases in measures of lung function such as vital capacity (the maximum amount of air that can be breathed out following a maximum inhalation)
- Weakening of the respiratory muscles
- Decline in the effectiveness of lung defense mechanisms
(See also Overview of the Respiratory System.)
In healthy people, these age-related changes seldom lead to symptoms. These changes contribute somewhat to an older person
