Human Aging Disease

We all get old day by day. But we don’t want so. We want ourselves to be young always. But that doesn’t happen. We become old and one day we die. This process of getting older day by day and resulting in death is called as aging. Aging cannot be stopped or paused for a while. But it can surely be slowed down. Even though it can be slowed down, there are several diseases that cause aging and several diseases that is caused due to aging.

Diseases that cause aging are severe and lead to premature aging and death at a younger age itself. These types of diseases are rare. But when they attack, they are severe and they have no cure. One of such diseases that cause pre-mature aging and leads to death at age of 13 it is Progeria. This attacks children and causes premature aging. There are several other such diseases like, Xeroderma Pigmentosum, Werner Syndrome. Some other notable diseases are Cockayne’s Syndrome and Bloom Syndrome. These are mainly due to genetic disorders and hence finding a cure is very difficult.

On the other hand, there are several diseases caused due to aging. The most common of them is the osteoporosis and the Arthritis. Both are disorders related to bone and deficiency in minerals. Both can be averted by proper exercises and balanced diet. Another important and deadly disease that is caused as a result of aging is the Alzheimer’s diseases. This is due to aging of brain cells. These diseases though can be prevented by having a clinical approach right from childhood.
