Age-related diseases refer to health conditions that become more common as individuals grow older. These diseases are typically degenerative in nature, meaning they result from normal wear and tear on the body over time. Common age-related diseases include cardiovascular diseases, cancer, dementia, osteoporosis, arthritis, and diabetes. Research in the field of age-related diseases focuses on understanding the underlying mechanisms of these conditions, identifying risk factors, developing preventative measures, and improving treatment options. Key areas of study include genetics, lifestyle factors (such as diet and exercise), and the role of inflammation in the aging process. Overall, the goal of research in this area is to improve the quality of life for older adults by delaying the onset of age-related diseases, managing symptoms more effectively, and ultimately finding cures for these conditions.
