Some rheumatic diseases involve connective tissues (called connective tissue diseases), while others may be caused by an autoimmune disorder, which means the bodies immune system attacks its own healthy cells and tissues.

An elderly patient may visit his doctor for an acute or for a chronic problem. During these visits, doubts and apprehensions of an elderly person may not be addressed adequately due to lack of time, priority and opportunity. As a result very often these seemingly trivial issues are pushed back until they become acute or major illnesses, to illustrate a memory lapse due to aging as opposed to dementia.
