摘要：We should bear in mind that old people differ from adults with deteriorated functional capacity just as infants differ from smallstatured adults. Continous decline in physiological response or function is observed in figures, whereas in fact qualitative change occures simultaneously in the aged at cell level. With increasing ages, physiological responses of the aged tend to show expanded time⁄individual differences, tiering changes, and changes in adaptability ⁄flexibility range due to a decline in abilities to learn, prepare, and absorb. Taking these facts into consideration. We have analyzed the characteristics of the aged.
