Integrated Pathophysiology — Aging → HTN, Peptic Ulcer, Kyphosis

Flowchart showing how age-related organ changes interact and contribute to E.I.'s conditions.

AGING PROCESS

Natural decline across organ systems

Cardiovascular

Arterial stiffening → ↑ vascular resistance → heart works harder

Hypertension (150/90 mmHg)

Worsened by high salt & processed food

Gastrointestinal

Thinner gastric mucosa → ↓ protective mucus → ↑ acid injury

Peptic ulcer (history; maintained)

Aggravated by poor diet (no vegs, canned food)

Musculoskeletal

↓ Bone density + muscle weakness → vertebral changes

Kyphosis (slouched posture)

Leads to limited mobility, fall risk

Interactions

Kyphosis → ↓ physical activity → can worsen hypertension
Poor diet & added salt → worsen both hypertension and ulcer risk
Multiple chronic changes lower resilience & quality of life
