Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Flattening of attachment between dermis and epidermis is an age-related skin change known as dermal-epidermal junction flattening. This results in decreased barrier function and thinner skin, making it more prone to damage and wrinkles.

Note: Increased collagen may be a desirable outcome, but it is not an age-related change as collagen production decreases with age. Increase in the size of hypodermis and a heightened inflammatory response resulting in increased epithelialization are not age-related skin changes.
