Examination of a person with respect to age should be done as the state of body corresponds to the length of time. Age is broadly divided into three stages viz. childhood, middle age and old age.  

Examination of a person with respect to age should be done as the state of body corresponds to the length of time. Age is broadly divided into three stages viz. childhood, middle age and old age.  

Childhood is determined upto the age of sixteen years when dhatus are immature, sexual characters are not manifested the body is delicate, unenduring with incomplete strength and predominance of kapha dhatu.  

 

This again is perceived in two subtypes viz. dhatus in developing stage upto sixteen years and fickle mind upto thirty years.  

Childhood is determined upto the age of sixteen years when ''dhatus'' are immature, sexual characters are not manifested the body is delicate, unenduring with incomplete strength and predominance of ''kapha dhatu''.  

The middle age is characterized by strength, energy, virility, valour, acquisition, retertion, recollection, speech, understanding and qualities of all dhatus having developed properly; with proper physical and mental strength, without degeneration in qualities of dhatus, with predominance of pitta dhatu and is upto sixty years.  

 

Later is the old age upto one hundred years. During this period dhatus, sense organs, strength, energy, virlity, prowess, acquisition, relention, recollection, speech and understanding generally or gradually degenerate, this phase is predominated by vayu. During this stage the measure of life span is one hundred years.  

This again is perceived in two subtypes viz. ''dhatus'' in developing stage up to sixteen years and fickle mind up to thirty years.  

There are persons who lived longer or shorter than that, in such cases, one should determine the three divisions of age on the basis of strength of the factors like prakriti etc. except vikriti and also by the features of different periods of life span.[122]

Thus, the strength of the entities like prakriti etc barring vikriti should be determined in three divisions – superior, medium and inferior. According to severity of morbidity (vikriti) the three degrees of strength of dosha are inferred. In accordance with the medicaments should also be divided into three degrees i.e. strong, mild and moderate in regard to dosha.[123]
