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

Maintenance Efforts

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