''Note: This article is about [[health]] conditions that don't belong in a broader category.  For physical damage, see [[Injury]].  For treatable conditions, see [[Disease]].

'mtb' stands for 'Mean Time Between', and is how it's presented in the game files.

==Chronic==
Ailments that come with age.

===Alzheimer's===
Progressive brain degeneration. As of Alpha 16, it has yet to have stages implemented where it becomes fatal, with the worst stage being 'Major'.

* Consciousness (-x%) (-5% at minor)
* Affects: memory

===Bad Back===
The older a colonist is, the more likely they're going to hurt their back one day (or just naturally develop one).

General Symptoms:
* Impaired movement (-30%)
* Impaired manipulation (-10%)

===Cataracts===
Cataracts are the clouding of the lens on your eyes which may occur spontaneously with age similarly to [[#Bad Back|bad back]]. Unlike bad back, cataracts are a very serious impairment, but technically treatable via [[Health|surgery]] of the eye.

General Symptoms:
* Impaired sight (-35% per eye)

===Dementia===
Dementia is simply the functionality of the brain declining, and affects all cognitive functions.

General Symptoms:
* Impaired consciousness (-15%)
* Impaired speech (-40%)
* Impaired hearing (-40%)
* Confused wandering (''mtb of 5 days'')

===Frail===
As a pawn gets old, their physical form will deteriorate and will therefore not be as strong as they used to be. Can stack with a bad back.

General Symptoms:
* Impaired movement (-30%)
* Impaired manipulation (-30%)

===Hearing Loss===
The ability to hear is hindered due to damage of delicate hair cells in the inner ear, but occurs naturally with age. Can't be 'treated' unlike cataracts.

General Symptons:
* Impaired hearing (-35% per ear)

==General==
These ailments generally appear in gameplay.

===Cryptosleep Sickness===

Occurs after having been in a [[ship cryptosleep casket]] or a [[cryptosleep casket]] for any amount of time. The colonists at the start of the game have a chance of starting with cryptosleep sickness, as they were in cryptosleep before crashing on the planet.

General Symptoms:
* Frequent Vomiting (''mtb of 0.125 days'')
* Impaired consciousness (x50%)

Treatment:
* Wears off after {{ticks|10000}}

===Food Poisoning===
Occurs after having eaten a contaminated meal. The chance of contamination is determined by the [[Food_Poison_Chance|cook's skill]] and the [[Room_stats#Cleanliness|cleanliness of the room]] where it was prepared.

General Symptoms:
* Sporadic Vomiting (''mtb of 0.35 days'')
* Impaired consciousness (x50%)

Treatment:
* Wears off after {{ticks|30000}}

===Toxic Buildup===
Occurs with exposure to [[Events#toxic fallout|toxic fallout]]. A colonist under a roof is protected from exposure. Prolonged exposure gradually increases the buildup level. Once a colonist returns to a roofed area their buildup severity will gradually decrease. The buildup severity occurs in stages. The later stages cause permanent [[Injury#Old Age|dementia]]; it does not wear off even after toxic buildup subsides.

* '''Initial''' - begins at 4% severity.
** Symptoms:
*** Impaired consciousness (reduced by 5%)

* '''Minor''' - begins at 20% severity.
** Symptoms:
*** Impaired consciousness (reduced by 10%)

* '''Moderate''' - begins at 40% severity.
** Symptoms:
*** Impaired consciousness (reduced by 15%)

*** Dementia ('''permanent''', ''mtb of 146 days to develop'')
*** Carcinoma (''mtb of 438 days to develop'')

* '''Serious''' - begins at 60% severity.
** Symptoms:
*** Impaired consciousness (reduced by 25%)
*** Vomiting (''mtb of 1 day'')
*** Dementia ('''permanent''', ''mtb of 37 days'')
**** Carcinoma (''mtb of 111 days'')

* '''Extreme''' - begins at 80% severity. <br>At this stage the victim will fall unconscious and need rescue.
** Symptoms:
*** Unconsciousness (max 10%)
*** Vomiting (''mtb of 0.5 days'')
*** Dementia ('''permanent''', ''mtb of 13 days'')
*** Carcinoma (''mtb of 39 days'')

* '''Death''' - occurs at 100% severity.

==Surgical==
These ailments happen with medical operations.

===Anesthetic===
Used in surgery to make sure that a colonist is unconscious.

General Symptoms:
* Unconsciousness (sets to 10%)

Treatment:
* Wears off after {{ticks|15000}}

===Euthanasia===
