Age-Related Deterioration

Meaning

Age-Related Deterioration clinically refers to the progressive, inevitable decline in physiological function and structural integrity across various organ systems that occurs over time. This process is marked by a reduction in homeostatic reserve, making the organism more susceptible to stress, disease, and ultimately, mortality. In the context of hormonal health, it often manifests as diminished endocrine gland output and reduced tissue sensitivity to key hormones. Addressing this fundamental biological process is central to longevity and wellness protocols.
