Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As people age, the bladder loses its elasticity, and its ability to hold urine decreases. This leads to decreased bladder capacity and increased frequency of urination. Muscle tone and kidney size may also decrease with age, but they are not directly related to increased urination frequency in this case. The uterus is not directly involved in urination.
