Throughout our discussion, we describe the average or typical course of aging for each system. It is often useful to consider how a particular person either matches or varies from the typical. Locate an adult who is 60 years of age or older and willing to discuss what he or she remembers about changes in his or her skeletal structure, muscle tissue, and adipose tissue. You might ask, for example, about osteoporosis screenings, changes in body weight during middle and older adulthood, and changes in fat versus muscle weight as the person changed body shape. Write a short paper summarizing your conversation, indicating what matched and what varied from the norm described in this chapter.
