How to use "Infirm" in context?
When considering infirmity, many people think first of aging. After all, it is the hallmark of infirmity: slowly creeping dysfunction that often results in diminished quality of life. However, infirmity can also refer to a wide range of medical conditions, both acute and chronic.
One of the most common conditions is arthritis, which can cause great physical and emotional discomfort. Other conditions that often lead to infirmity include heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and multiple sclerosis. In some cases, a person may experience only occasional discomfort or mild impairment, but for others, infirmity can be a daily reality.
