Endocrine aging is a research area that focuses on how the endocrine system changes and impacts health and well-being as individuals age. The endocrine system is responsible for producing hormones that regulate various physiological processes in the body, such as metabolism, growth, and reproduction. As individuals age, the endocrine system undergoes changes that can contribute to the development of age-related diseases, such as osteoporosis, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Research in this area seeks to better understand how these changes occur, how they impact overall health, and how they can be managed or mitigated through interventions such as hormone replacement therapy or lifestyle changes.
