Arteries tend to become less flexible with age, leading to decreased blood flow and an increased risk of high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. Skin elasticity may decrease with age, but this is not always the case, as it can vary based on genetic factors, sun exposure, and other environmental factors. Cells may require less energy as metabolism tends to decrease with age, and the stomach may secrete less intrinsic factor, which can impact the absorption of vitamin B12. However, neither of these changes are as consistent as the change in arterial flexibility.
