The answer is the fourth one: wrinkles.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Hair loss: Hair loss in the elderly is primarily due to changes in hair follicles and hormonal changes, not directly related to the reduction of elastic fibers in the skin.
  2. Osteoporosis: Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by weakened bones and is not related to the elastic fibers in the skin.
  3. Skin dryness: Skin dryness in the elderly is often due to reduced oil production and changes in the skin's barrier function, not specifically due to a reduction in elastic fibers.
  4. Wrinkles: Wrinkles are directly related to the reduction in the number of elastic fibers in the skin. Elastic fibers help maintain the skin's elasticity and firmness. As these fibers decrease with age, the skin loses its ability to return to its original shape, leading to the formation of wrinkles.

Summary: The reduction in the number of elastic fibers in the skin of the elderly results in wrinkles.
