Do you have more cells now than you did when you were five?

When you age, cells do divide and reproduce more cells. However when you age the reproduction process of cells gets slower and they can die off before they can reproduce. There can be many problems with your cells that can make cell count lower such as Atrophy, and Dysplasia. When you age, cells are a contributing factor of making you age. They can change your skin, face, etc.. So the answer would be no, you would not have more than you did when you were five.
