Type of disease
Degenerative disease is the result of a continuous process based on degenerative cell changes, affecting tissues or organs , which will increasingly deteriorate over time.[ 1]
In neurodegenerative diseases , cells of the central nervous system stop working or die via neurodegeneration . An example of this is Alzheimer's disease .[ 2] The other two common groups of degenerative diseases are those that affect circulatory system (e.g. coronary artery disease ) and neoplastic diseases (e.g. cancers ).[ 1]
Many degenerative diseases exist and some are related to aging . Normal bodily wear or lifestyle choices (such as exercise or eating habits) may worsen degenerative diseases, but this depends on the disease.[ 1] Sometimes the main or partial cause behind such diseases is genetic .[ 3] Thus some are clearly hereditary like Huntington's disease .[ 4] Sometimes the cause is viruses , poisons or other chemicals. The cause may also be unknown.[ 3]
Some degenerative diseases can be cured. In those that can not, it may be possible to alleviate the symptoms .[ 1]
