English term or phrase: Normative disease
Buenas tardes, tengo una consulta acerca de esta frase. No preciso la manera de traducir correctamente la palabra NORMATIVE. ¿Cómo puedo traducirla de la manera más adecuada? Carezco de esa información, por lo que será de mucha ayuda. Es un texto de carácter semi informal, que explica el uso de la rapamicina y cómo ayuda al envejecimiento.

normative disease
enfermedad normativa


Explanation:
A falta de contexto en el que se use el término:

En el caso específico del envejecimiento, en ciertas fuentes se utiliza "normativo" para referir al envejecimiento primario. En otras palabras, el envejecimiento por "causas naturales".

enfermedad inevitable / "obligada"


Explanation:
Aging is not a disease
(...)
Aging is a NORMATIVE DISEASE. A normative disease is an oxymoron, like friendly fire. It is unlike a disease; because it is the norm; but it is fantastically deadly, as deadly as any disease known. 

Envejecer no es una enfermedad
(...)
Envejecer es una enfermedad inevitable, "obligada". Una enfermedad inevitable es un oxímoron, como fuego amigo. Al contrario que cualquier enfermedad, envejecer es la regla; aunque es increíblemente mortal, tan mortal como cualquier enfermedad conocida.

I'd say, context is ALWAYS necessary.
Obviously enough, the concept of normative disease is a reference to the concept of normative aging (envejecimiento primario o envejecimiento "normativo"; obligado, inevitable). Enfermedad normativa does not really work in Spanish, reason why I suggest the use of "inevitable" (enfermedad inevitable) or "obligada" (enfermedad "obligada"), as you could refer to primary aging (normative aging) as envejecimiento inevitable (envejecimiento primario, "normativo") and as long as the oxymoron is also patent in the Spanish rendering (enfermedad inevitable; normative disease).


Envejecimiento primario
Se clasifican como envejecimiento primario todos los procesos no patológicos que se producen como consecuencia de la edad; por esto es llamado también “envejecimiento normativo”. 
Envejecimiento secundario
Este tipo de envejecimiento consiste en cambios causados por factores conductuales y ambientales, ajenos a los procesos biológicos naturales
Envejecimiento terciario
El concepto de envejecimiento terciario hace referencia a las pérdidas rápidas que se producen poco antes de la muerte. Aunque afecta al organismo a todos los niveles, este tipo de envejecimiento es especialmente notable en el ámbito cognitivo y psicológico; por ejemplo, en los últimos meses o años de vida la personalidad tiende a desestabilizarse.

Reference: Normative medicine

Reference information:
Normative medicine is a new approach to health and disease based on Canguilhem's philosophy: The normal and the pathological. In the past, disease was nearly synonymous with ill health. Advancing technology reveals more and more pre-clinical aberrations that are not fully fledged diseases, and cannot be regarded as ill health. Medicine lacks clear guidelines for dealing with them. While competent in specifying how to treat, it generally fails to decide correctly when to intervene in the evolving process. This is the main source of medical iatrogenesis. Normative medicine is more concerned with health itself and less with diseases. It provides criteria when to intervene in the disease process.
