Additional Considerations:

Skin Texture: As age increases, the skin becomes drier and less elastic. - Hair: Graying and thinning of hair are common signs of aging. - Teeth: Changes in teeth, such as discoloration, wear, and loss, can also indicate age. - Eyes: Changes in vision, such as cataracts or macular degeneration, can be more common in older adults. - Mobility: Changes in gait and mobility, such as a slower walking speed or the use of assistive devices, can also indicate age.

This chart provides a general overview, but it's important to note that individual aging can vary greatly due to genetics, lifestyle, and overall health.
