There are changes to the brain: after 20 years of age, there is a 10% reduction each decade in the total length of the brain's myelinated axons. [54] [55] Age can result in visual impairment, whereby non-verbal communication is reduced, [56] which can lead to isolation and possible depression.

Prenatal development starts with fertilization and the formation of the zygote , the first stage in embryonic development which continues in fetal ...
The speed of physical growth is rapid in the months after birth, then slows, so birth weight is doubled in the first four months, tripled by 1 year, but not quadrupled until 2 years. [85] Growth then proceeds at a slow rate until a period of rapid growth occurs shortly before puberty (between about 9 and 15 years of age). [ 86 ]
After initial diagnosis, a person with AD can live, on average, an additional 3 to 10 years with the disease. [69] In 2024, it was estimated that 6.9 million Americans age 65 and older had AD.

Newborns typically lose 7–10% of their birth weight in the first few days, but they usually regain it within two weeks. [17] During the first month, infants grow about 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 3.8 cm) and gain weight at a rate of about 1 ounce (28 g) per day. [17] Resting heart rate is generally between 70 and 190 beats per minute. [18]
