Degenerative diseases develop over a period of time, with the symptoms and signs becoming progressively worse and the affected person's life becoming increasingly and generally irreversibly affected.

Although any part of the body can be involved, three systems in particular are prone to debilitating degenerative diseases - the nervous system, the muscular system, and the skeletal system.
