respiratory cilia, changes in lung tissue, kyphosis, increased front-to-back curvature, scoliosis, lordosis, maximal force one, generate on inspiration, breathing in, expiration, breathing out, decreases, the diaphragm, muscles between the ribs, intercostals, become weaker, chest is less able to stretch to breathe, pattern of breathing, change slightly to compensate, decreased ability to expand the chest, effect of changes, maximum lung function decreases, oxygen diffusing, air sacs, blood decreases, rate of air flow, the airways slowly declines after age 30, maximal force one is able to achieve on inspiration, expiration decreases, usual breathing should remain adequate, a very old person should, under most circumstances, able to breathe, effort, increased breathing, lungs, not be able to keep up, the demand, aging continues, a decreased capacity, exercise, high altitude, an important change, many older people, the airways close more readily, airways tend to collapse, an older person breathes shallowly, in bed, prolonged time, breathing shallowly, pain, illness, surgery causes, an increased risk, pneumonia, lung problems, older people to be out of bed, ill, after surgery, breathing, controlled by brain, receives information from various parts, the body telling it how much oxygen, carbon dioxide, in the blood, low oxygen levels, high carbon dioxide levels trigger an increased rate, depth of breathing, healthy older people to have a reduced response to both decreased oxygen, increased carbon dioxide levels, voice box, larynx, aging, pitch, loudness, quality, the voice to change, voice, become quieter, slightly hoarse, pitch decreased, becoming lower, in women, becoming higher, in men, voice, sound "weaker", but most people remain quite capable of effective communication, emotionally sensitive, voice's perceived loss of appeal, effectiveness, common problems, elderly people, at increased risk, lung infections, body has many ways to protect against lung infections, aging, defenses, weaken, cough reflex, not trigger, readily, cough less forceful, hairlike projections that line the airway, cilia, less able to move mucus up, the airway, nose, breathing passages secrete less of a substance, iga, an antibody that protects against viruses, elderly, more susceptible to pneumonia, lung infections, common lung problems, in the elderly include chronically low oxygen levels, reducing tolerance to illness, decreased exercise tolerance, abnormal breathing patterns, sleep apnea, episodes of no breathing, sleep, increased risk of lung infections pneumonia, bronchitis, tobacco damage emphysema, lung cancer, prevention, avoidance of smoking, most important way to minimize the effect of aging on the lungs, exercise, good overall fitness improve breathing capacity, exercise tolerance, in the heart, blood vessels, muscles, skeleton, lung changes, exercise, training, improve the reserve capacity, the lungs, secondly, than any other group the elderly need to be aware, the need to be up, should consciously try to increase deep breathing, illness, after surgery, continued use, the voice helps maintain overall vocal performance, related topics, aging changes in organs, tissues, cells, aging changes, in the bones, muscles, joints, aging changes, in the heart, blood vessels, aging changes in vital signs.
