    A degenerative disease is a condition where the structure or function of tissues and organs deteriorates over time due to normal wear and tear or lifestyle factors. Examples include Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, ALS, muscular dystrophy, heart disease, and osteoarthritis, among many others, where the affected body parts or systems progressively worsen in functioning. Degenerative diseases contrast with infectious diseases.

    Degenerative disease

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    A degenerative disease is a disease in which the function or structure of the affected tissues or organs will increasingly deteriorate over time, whether due to normal bodily wear or lifestyle choices such as exercise or eating habits.[1] Degenerative diseases are often contrasted with infectious diseases.
