Age - related deterioration process is known as

  • A.Senescence
  • B.Dementia
  • C.Spurt
  • D.Maturation

Answer: A

The age-related deterioration process is senescence.

Senescence is the gradual decline in the working of the body's cells, tissues and organs that comes with ageing in the adult years. Human biologists use the word for the biological process itself, whatever disease may occur with it.

Dementia is a disease state in which memory and thinking are lost, and it can occur with ageing but is not the ageing process. A spurt is a short period of rapid growth, such as the adolescent growth spurt. Maturation is the process of reaching full development, so it points towards growth and not decline.
