Chronic knee pain due to arthritis, back pain and spondylitis arising from poor posture can make working for long hours difficult for you. These problems are manageable if you exercise regularly and maintain a healthy and calcium rich diet.

2.Hair loss and baldness

This is caused by regular stress. Hair loss happens when  follicles of hair become sensitized to dihydrotestosterone. This male hormone which is also known as DHT, is more potent than testosterone, says Leona Yip, FACD, Ph.D., a dermatologist based in Canberra, Australia. When DHT binds with receptors in the dermal papilla,part of the hair follicle,it shortens your hair’s growth phase so that each new hair comes in shorter and finer than the previous one, Dr. Yip says. 

3.Hypertension and cholesterol

These two are the most common silent diseases among today’s population. If not managed at this age, these heart-health indicators may slowly present a cumulative risk of developing into other serious problems such as heart attack,cardiac arrest and stroke. Regular heart check-ups can help monitor and diagnose any complications especially if you have a family history of coronary heart disease or stroke. It is recommended to undergo cholesterol testing every 5 years after the age of 40.

4.Osteoporosis
