why are elderly people so vascular even when having high bodyfat
In: 1
When aging, you lose subcutaneous fat – the fat under the surface of the skin. According to my doctor, this is part of aging and nothing can be done about it. This is also why veins in the arms and legs are more pronounced. You also see distinct purple marks on arms and legs. These are bruises that you get more easily due to the loss of that layer of fat that helps protect the veins from damage.
