age-related diseases
Age-related diseases are medical conditions that become more common or prevalent as individuals grow older. The relationship between age and diseases is that the risk of developing chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer increases with age. Age-related diseases are often the result of cumulative damage to cells and tissues over time, as well as genetic and lifestyle factors. The interaction between aging and diseases underscores the importance of preventive measures and early detection in managing health in older adults.
