    Aging, also known as the cycle of life, is any form of change of an organism as time passes. There are many dimensions to aging such the physical, psychological, mental, and emotional aspects.

The third type of aging is biological aging (which is the person's physical state as he ages). Age measurement is done through entire years or months in the case of infants.
