AI overview

Ageing is the biological process of becoming older, which occurs in humans, many animals, and fungi, though some organisms like bacteria and certain plants can potentially live indefinitely. Understanding ageing matters because it affects how bodies and populations change over time, though the underlying reasons why most living things age remain an important area of study.

Envelhecimento, nos seres humanos, é o processo de desgaste do corpo (ou das células), depois de atingida a idade adulta. As causas do envelhecimento ainda não são totalmente conhecidas; teorias propõem que acúmulo de danos (por exemplo, mutações no DNA) possa causar aumento de falhas no organismo. Outras teorias propõem que o envelhecimento possa ser programado geneticamente.
