Heart Disease
Heart disease, also known as cardiovascular disease, is a broad term that encompasses a range of conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels. It is a leading cause of death worldwide, particularly among older adults.
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that primarily affects the cartilage, the smooth tissue that cushions the ends of bones in joints. As cartilage breaks down, bones may rub together, causing pain, stiffness, and loss of function. Osteoarthritis is particularly common among older adults, affecting millions of people worldwide.
Hypertension
Hypertension, often referred to as high blood pressure, is a common health condition characterized by elevated blood pressure. It is a significant risk factor for heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease. While hypertension can affect people of all ages, it is particularly prevalent among older adults.
