Age-Related Decline

Meaning

Age-Related Decline refers to the progressive, physiological deterioration of function across various biological systems that occurs as an organism advances in chronological age. In the context of hormonal health, this term specifically describes the predictable reduction in the synthesis, secretion, and receptor sensitivity of key hormones like testosterone, estrogen, and growth hormone. This decline is a multifactorial process, encompassing cellular senescence and diminished tissue repair capacity, which ultimately impacts metabolic and reproductive health.
