The term “adult illness” starts in the 1950s and is translated from English “Adult disease”. The disease after the age of 40 is often referred to as “adult disease.” The reason why adults are sick is that many of the bad habits that led to these diseases have already begun to take place since the time of the adulthood. It is also known as “geriatric” because it is susceptible to these illnesses after it is old.
