Degeneration 【2027】

Broadly speaking, is a process where tissues or organs lose their ability to function properly over time, often due to aging, wear and tear, or underlying health conditions.

In a medical context, this most commonly refers to the gradual breakdown of specific areas like the spine (joints and discs) or the eyes (the macula). While often associated with getting older, lifestyle factors and genetics play a major role in how quickly these changes happen.
