Andropause Cognitive Lag

Meaning

Andropause Cognitive Lag describes the measurable deceleration and decline in specific cognitive functions, such as executive processing speed and working memory, observed in men experiencing age-related decreases in circulating androgen levels. This neurocognitive manifestation is directly associated with the hormonal shifts characteristic of the male climacteric, often preceding overt physical symptoms. It represents a subtle yet significant erosion of peak mental acuity, necessitating a clinical focus on neuroendocrine support. The term delineates a functional deficit distinct from major neurodegenerative disorders, emphasizing the hormonal component of cognitive vitality.
