Senescence is the gradual deterioration of biological function that occurs as people age, including molecular and cellular changes that lead to visible signs of aging such as wrinkles and gray hair, as well as less visible changes such as a dulling of the senses and increased risk for certain health conditions like arthritis. Incongruence and incontinence are not related to the aging process, and while elderliness may be a related term, it is not a recognized concept in the field of developmental psychology.
