What are the 3 primary 1. Reduced physiological reserve of most body
physiological changes of aging? systems, esp. cardiac, resp, renal.
2. Reduced homeostatic mechanisms that fail to
adjust regulatory systems (i.e. temp control,
fluid/lyte balance, etc.).
3. Impaired immunological function (infection risk
is greater, autoimmune dz's more prevalent)
