Hi
What is this medical word?

The phenomena can happen at the time of menopause for a woman, but it also can to a man of around late 50 or so.

Answer 1

Senescence

In biology, senescence is the combination of processes of deterioration which follow the period of development of an organism. The term aging has become so commonly equated with senescence that the terms are often used interchangeably,

Aging is generally characterized by the declining ability to respond to stress, increasing homeostatic imbalance and increased risk of disease. Because of this, death is the ultimate consequence of aging. Differences in maximum life span between species correspond to different "rates of aging". For example, inherited differences in the rate of aging make a mouse elderly at 3 years and a human elderly at 90 years. These genetic differences affect a variety of physiological processes, probably including the efficiency of DNA repair, antioxidant enzymes, and rates of free radical production.

I hope this helps.
