i do believe that it's because of their genes. men who have fathers that gets bald as they grow older, gets bald too. and women who gets fat as they grow older it's because their metabolism gets slow as they reach the age of 30. so better to exercise start as young as you are so your metabolism wont get slower as you grow older.

I think the women get fat as the reach the age of 30 is because their muscle become more bagged,most of them are not really become fatter,but just look like more fatter then before,My sister in low is just an example.and of course,their metabolism get more slow,is also an reason,so they must control their bite and sup in their daily lives.eat more fruits and vegetables,and less of meat.and do more exercises. For the balder of the men,I think it may because the over use of their brain.but I'm not sure.

Men and women have different hormones besides their genre genes. They are different from birth as you well know. Exercise has nothing to do with the process of aging as you are putting it although if you do some exercise you will be in better conditions.

Well you may be right but I think for those that get fatter it is because mostly related to slowing of metabolism and few because of genes. As we get older our metabolism are really doomed to slow down. Although exercise can stretch the slowing process but eventually age do catch up in time.

I believe that men do get bald because their fathers were bald. I remember studying in science when I was in school that it comes from their mother's side of the family, though. That is, if there were bald headed men on her side of the family. That seems kind of strange. I also knew that women's metabolism slows down the older they get. I'm glad I started exercising when I was young. Kathy.
