Answer:

Physiological changes occur with aging in all organ systems. The cardiac output decreases, blood pressure increases and arteriosclerosis develops. The lungs show impaired gas exchange, a decrease in vital capacity and slower expiratory flow rates. The creatinine clearance decreases with age although the serum creatinine level remains relatively constant due to a proportionate age-related decrease in creatinine production. Functional changes, largely related to altered motility patterns, occur in the gastrointestinal system with senescence, and atrophic gastritis and altered hepatic drug metabolism are common in the elderly. Progressive elevation of blood glucose occurs with age on a multifactorial basis and osteoporosis is frequently seen due to a linear decline in bone mass after the fourth decade. The epidermis of the skin atrophies with age and due to changes in collagen and elastin the skin loses its tone and elasticity. Lean body mass declines with age and this is primarily due to loss and atrophy of muscle cells. Degenerative changes occur in many joints and this, combined with the loss of muscle mass, inhibits elderly patients' locomotion. These changes with age have important practical implications for the clinical management of elderly patients: metabolism is altered, changes in response to commonly used drugs make different drug dosages necessary and there is need for rational preventive programs of diet and exercise in an effort to delay or reverse some of these changes.

if my parents hit me with the metal end of a flyswatter and metal clothes hangers, and threaten to rip my head off, is that abus
ExtremeBDS [4]

Well, it depends on the context and the severity. If they are mad at you when doing it, it could be considered abuse, especially if there are marks on your body from it. If it is jokingly or sarcastic, then no. Clothes hangers and fly swatters don't seem that bad, but of course, I am not you, nor am I in your situation. You won't get much help if you have no proof, so you would have to have maybe some marks or a video or sound recording. Every police officer and social worker has different opinions though, so you could get help from one with no proof and you could not get help from one even if you have proof. I would say, think wisely about what you will do about it and balance the pros and cons before you act on it.

Hope this helps and if you have any other questions please let me know :)
