Health experts advise monitoring physical changes after age 40
Medical professionals advise that individuals reaching age 40 should pay closer attention to persistent bodily changes rather than dismissing them as inevitable signs of aging. Dr. Vishwas K., an internal medicine specialist, notes that while age 40 does not signal a sudden physical decline, it is a decade where subtle changes can become more significant.
Key physiological shifts to monitor include an increasing waist circumference, which may indicate visceral fat accumulation around internal organs—a factor linked to higher cardiometabolic risks. Other notable changes include potential increases in blood pressure, glucose, and cholesterol levels, often occurring without immediate symptoms. Additionally, persistent fatigue, non-restorative sleep, and changes in physical strength or posture are highlighted as signs that warrant medical attention.
