      Yeah most do. They all develop in a different way. Some get worse just because they are used so much.

      For example the heart changes a lot as you get older. One of the problems most old people have is that their heart no longer beats in the correct order and this is called an arrhythmia. Most often this is the cause for a heart attack/cardiac arrest and kills a lot of people.

      By develop do you mean keep growing better. if so then not really. most of your organs are fully developed when you becoe a adult. your job is to keep them as health as possible by a good diet and exercise. although, not strickly development, you can probably keep “traning” your brain as you get older.
