The aim is to postpone frailty, postpone degenerative disease, debilitation and so on and thereby shorten the period at the end of life, which is passed in a decrepit or disabled state, while extending life as a whole.

Our brain starts a long degenerative arc beginning around age 40.

Used in healthcare topics to describe diseases that worsen over time.

Medical Context

Implies the condition cannot improve and will continue to degrade.

Irreversible Nature

Often linked to aging, reflecting conditions that deteriorate naturally over time.

Aging Association

While medical, it can apply to any function or skill that worsens, like memory.

Broad Relevance

Can describe non-health related decline, such as technology or skills.

Non-Medical Usage

Some degenerative effects may not be immediately apparent.

Not Always Visible

Stresses the ongoing aspect of deterioration in health or quality.

Continuous Decline

Even with maintenance, 'degenerative' suggests inevitable decline.

Maintenance Efforts

Used to describe something that's going from a good to a worse state.

 You see, we've inherited degenerative industries.

 and we started a brain bank. Turns out, if you want to know how to cure degenerative brain disease, you have to start by actually studying the brains.
