Age-Related Deficits

Meaning

Age-Related Deficits are quantifiable declines in physiological, cognitive, or structural function that are statistically associated with the chronological aging process. Within hormonal health, these deficits often manifest as somatopause, andropause, or the menopausal transition, reflecting the cumulative impact of reduced homeostatic capacity. These declines are not necessarily pathological but represent the progressive erosion of biological vigor across multiple interconnected organ systems. Clinical intervention aims to mitigate these measurable functional losses to promote healthspan.
