A person’s age is defined by chronological data (the date of birth) and biological criteria. The natural ageing process is considered irreversible but humanity persists in its attempts to forestall it, gradually pushing the boundaries of old age further. Thus, premature aging and its causes area among the most complex tasks of modern gerontology and dermacosmetology.
Old age, arriving after maturity, is associated with a slowing of vital functions and a number of morphological changes in various systems, tissues and organs. This is a long-term process, during which the body, along with the atrophic processes it is experiencing, also develops new adaptation mechanisms to ensure its survival.
Physiological ageing arrives naturally and progresses gradually. The process of age-induced change is associated with the decrease and variation in the body’s adaptive capacities. The process of physiological aging is caused by hereditary factors.
Premature ageing begins in younger years as a result of external and internal influence (stress, injuries, diseases, working and living conditions). Such aging is considered pathogenetic.
Causes of ageing:
Currently, more than 300 different hypotheses attempt to explain the biological essence of ageing. They can be divided into five main groups that interpret ageing as:
• the result of cell, organ or body attrition, depletion of enzymes and nucleate bodies (the continuous protein body self-renewal process is viewed as a defence mechanism);
• the result of poisoning by contaminants, intestinal microflora toxins, external cell agents;
• the result of gradual degradation of the main vital function, metabolism deceleration, decreased absorption of food, nutrients, oxygen, calcium, for example, gradual loss of the cellular self-renewal capacity;
• the result of involution of separate tissues or organs, various glands or the connective tissue; as well as
• the result of age-induced slowed biochemical and biophysical reactions.
However, regardless of which theory we accept as basis, aging is a complex biochemical process associated with metabolic, structural and functional changes of tissue cellular structures caused by depletion of the body’s bioresource
(S. Akhtyamova, Z. Hetling, Y. Butova, 2003).
What causes skin ageing?
Skin ageing is part of the entire body’s biological aging process and obeys the same laws. However, the skin’s direct contact with the external environment causes it to manifest regressive changes earlier than other organs. The natural ageing process is programmed in the skin genetically. Eventually, skin cells cease to perform their functions, lose some of their capacity to fission and to maintain a stable internal environment, and experience increased sensitivity to internal and external aggressive factors. Named among the factors that provoke and aggravate the aging process are UV-rays, toxic agents, stress, chronic diseases and hormonal imbalances.
