Incontinence is not a normal part of aging and should be explored further.The thinning of the layers of the skin causes older adults to feel cold; however,this is a normal part of aging.With aging,the brown fat layer,which contributes to generating and maintaining body temperature,becomes thinner as well.This is not the same type of fat as adipose,which is a white fat layer.Additionally,older adults who are sedentary often feel cooler.The elderly normally experience a decrease in saliva production,so although this is also a symptom of dehydration,dry mouth is a normal change of aging.Visual acuity decreases with age,but this,too,is a normal part of aging.
