Aging is a gradual, continuous process during which essential functions in human body begin operating at a sub optimal level. With increasing age comes increased likelihood of disability. The most common causes of disability among older adults are chronic diseases, injuries, mental impairment, malnutrition, HIV/AIDS and other communicable diseases. Chronic diseases can range from mild conditions, such as short-sightedness, dental decay and minor hearing loss, to debilitating arthritis and low back pain, and to life-threatening heart disease and cancers.
