Spanish term

los padecimientos propios de la edad

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general)
El poco descanso en esta etapa se debe a los propios cambios del envejecimiento y a la menor capacidad del cerebro para mantener un sueño profundo. Además, a esto se suman los padecimientos propios de la edad, que impiden un buen dormir. "Los hombres se despiertan por la próstata, las mujeres por los bochornos o por muchas otras enfermedades.

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Liliana Galiano, Rosa Paredes

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

the ailments characteristic of old age

"Ailment" actually means a mild disaease, whereas "padecimiento" does not specify whether the disease is mild or serious. However the examples given seem to indicate their relatively mild nature.

age-driven ailments

not necessarily serious illnesses but things that bother them in the night (!)

'age-related and 'age-associated' are also often seen, but I do beg to differ with Carl - the term 'driven' is very common in medical contexts:

Peer comment(s):

disagree Carl Stoll : "Age-driven", although technically correct, is too reminiscent of engineering jargon for a a medical context.

ailments that come with age

I don't think this is necessarily "OLD" age. There are many other ailments that people have due to their age a long time before they're old.
