Age-Related Functional Erosion

Meaning

Age-Related Functional Erosion is the gradual, systemic deterioration of physiological reserve and homeostatic capacity across multiple organ systems, leading to a diminished ability to respond to stress and maintain optimal health. This erosion manifests clinically as a progressive reduction in muscle mass, bone density, cardiovascular efficiency, and endocrine gland output. It represents a quantifiable decline in the body’s overall operating efficiency, making an individual increasingly susceptible to illness and injury. The clinical goal is to slow or reverse this erosion by addressing its underlying hormonal and cellular causes.
