- abiotrofie — A biological phenomenon or state characterized by the gradual loss of vitality, diminution of physiological resistance, and progressive degeneration of certain cells, tissues, or organs. This process of early degradation or functional decline is determined by internal, constitutional, or genetic factors, manifesting in the absence of obvious external aggressions.
