Ans: A, C, E
Feedback:
Normal skin changes associated with aging are seen on areas of the body that have not been exposed to the sun. They include thinning of the dermis and the epidermis, diminution in subcutaneous tissue, and a decrease and thickening of blood vessels. These result in less padding and thinner skin, with color and elasticity changes. Although the reason is poorly understood, the skin in most elderly persons older than 70 years of age becomes dry, rough, scaly, and itchy.
