I have two questions...
"declination of bodily functions by aging"
1) Are the collocations appropriate? Are there any other ways that sound more natural?
2) Is it possible to change "by aging" to "due to age"?

'bodily functions' is more about defecation and urination. If you meant other functions like heart function, liver function and other general functions of the body, then you should use 'body functions' (not bodily functions)
'due to' is preferable to 'by'.
"Declination of body functions due to aging", or The decline of body functions due to aging" would be my suggestions.
