aging-related diseases

Aging-related diseases are health conditions that become more common as people grow older, often due to the natural decline of body functions and accumulated damage over time. These include conditions like heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and osteoporosis. As we age, cells and tissues repair less effectively, making the body more vulnerable to illness. Genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors also influence their development. Managing these diseases involves lifestyle choices, regular medical care, and sometimes medication to improve quality of life and reduce complications associated with aging.
