Aging-Psychology

Introduction

Three interviews were conducted, which I took to complete my article. I selected three of my older family-related members and discussed with them previously that I have to take their interviews for my study project. I went to their houses separately that are located near my house. The names should not be disclosed, so I am keeping it as Mr. A, Mr. B and Mr. C as all were men. Mr. A was 62 years old. Mr. B was 67 years old, and Mr. C was 72 years old. Mr. A is relative of my mother; he owns a grocery shop in Australia. Mr. C is also a relative of my mother; he currently works in some social organization. Mr. B was my grandfather, and he is retired military men. All of my interviewees were married.

Interview with Mr. A

Whereas our progression of change is quiet same, the rate at which we observe physical changes is most likely to be dependent, mainly rely on the lifestyle, the surrounding factor and genetics etc. The changes that mostly occur with the normal aging have slighter consequence on the quality of the person life(Griffiths & Thinnes, 2011).

The changes that are due to the disease and other lifestyle options not referred to the normal aging. Mr. A told in his interview about physical and health condition that, in the current age, he cannot do work that he could do in the age of mine. Mr. A also said that he tries his best to do the stress work and maintain his fitness, but he could not do so. He further elaborated regarding this that when he runs, he use to get exhaust very early and could not run for more than 10 seconds. The normal physical changes are following age (Griffiths & Thinnes, 2011):

Bones

When an individual get to age of around 30, the bone marrow constantly begin to end from the bones in our legs and arms. Bone marrow is basically a tissue in the large bones that located in the centre; their function is to build different cells that include red blood cells, platelets and white blood cells. The bone mass also reduced due to the deficiency of calcium (Fisk & Rogers, 2002).
