Answer:

As you age, changes affect your lung tissue, muscles and bones, which all impact your breathing. The maximum amount of air your lungs can hold—your total lung capacity—is about six liters. ... After about 35, their function declines as you age and as a result, breathing can slowly become more difficult over time.
