As babies our bladders and bowels function involuntarily and automatically. In early childhood we are trained to identify acceptable places and control excretion by the discipline of praise (keeping dry and not wetting the bed). Once control has been achieved any failure causes embarrassment which continues to occur at any age. To avoid this, only ‘acceptable’ voiding is allowed so a given individual must be able to identify an acceptable place and get there safely. Advancing age and increasing disability can lower the threshold for control but incontinence is not an inevitable outcome of ageing. Incontinence is an involuntary loss of urine or faeces in an inappropriate place. This implies that there were no physical or psychological barriers preventing access to an acceptable place but despite this the

The generally held view is that as skin ages it develops characteristic physiological signs (i.e. wrinkles, pigment alteration, thinning). It is now known that this is not normal ageing but pathological changes mainly due to ultraviolet light exposure. Obviously some conditions will occur from unavoidable environmental exposure, genetics and the effects of disease etc., but normal ageing produces surprisingly few skin changes.  The exposure to sunlight, however, produces very deleterious effects with numerous pathological conditions including keratoses, squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell The Ageing Process. carcinoma and mal

Ageing is a reproducible and highly recognizable process. You only have to look at friends or TV and cinema stars and you can guess their age usually correctly to Within a few years. But the process is very variable. Some people look much older than their years and others much younger. What is clear is that the same changes   occur but at different rates. An ageing population is defined epidemiologically as one in which there is an increase in age –specific death rates. Death rates start to increase remarkably early in life from the early 20s. Medical and nursing students are already well into the ageing process by the time they have finished their courses! Male rates are higher than female rates but this is usually attributed to men’s tendency to smoke, drink too much and take part in risky activities, like riding

IMAGE SOURCE, CONSULATE OF THE KINGDOM OF TONGA Image caption, Images from Tonga's shoreline show damage to structures and trees following the tsunami The Tongan government has said that as many as 84% of its 105,000 population had been affected by ash fall and a tsunami triggered by an underwater volcanic eruption. Tsunami waves from the volcano swept Tonga last week, destroying villages, buildings and the coast. The government did not report any deaths besides the three people known to have been killed in the tsunami. It said there were under two dozen injuries, most from Nomuka island. The three victims have been identified as Lataimaumi Lauaki a 49-year-old woman from Nomuka, Telai Tetu'ila, a 65-year-old man from Mango, and British national Angela Glover, 50, whose death was confirmed by her family last week.
