Stages of life

The human lifespan progresses through distinct stages marked by physical and physiological changes. Infancy involves rapid growth and development of organs and motor skills. Childhood is characterized by steady growth, improved coordination, and cognitive skill development. Adolescence brings puberty, sexual maturation, and further growth. Adulthood is the stage of life offering the utmost physical fitness and capacity. Middle age marks the onset of aging processes, including decreased strength and reproductive changes, like menopause. Later adulthood then involves gradual loss of mobility, height reduction, and increased susceptibility to chronic illnesses. Each stage presents unique health challenges requiring specific care to maintain well-being throughout life.
