Lesson 37-1 Theprocess of ageing
At the age oftwelve years, the human body is at its most vigorous. It has yet to reach itsfull size and strength, and its owner his or her full intelligence; but at thisage the likelihood of death is least. Earlier, we were infants and youngchildren, and consequently more vulnerable; later, we shall undergo aprogressive loss of our vigour and resistance which, though imperceptible atfirst, will finally become so steep that we can live no longer, however well welook after ourselves, and however well society, and our doctors, look after us.This decline in vigour with the passing of time is called ageing.
