Answer:

c) Atherosclerosis

Explanation:

Atherosclerosis refers to the buildup of plaque (cholesterol, fats and other substances) in and on the walls of the arteries, this results to restricted flow of blood.

It is the most common cause of peripheral arterial problems in the older adults. It is often classed as disease of aging because increase in age is an independent risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis. In other words, as one grows older the risk of atherosclerosis increases. As one ages, lifestyle factors or genetics can cause plaque to build up in the arteries.

Answer:

c) Atherosclerosis

Explanation:

<h2>The is the most common cause of peripheral arterial problems in which aging is the main  independent  risk factor for its development.</h2><h2> It is due to loss of cell growth (cellular senescence which increases with age) of  endothelial lining of the capillaries  and that of the coronary arteries. </h2><h2>Cellular senescence refers to loss of growth by the body cells from the age of 20yrs till death, and it has been proved to promotes deposition of plaque, and narrowing of blood vessels  associated with atherosclerosis.</h2><h2 />
