Compressing Morbidity

Meaning

Compressing Morbidity is a critical public health and clinical goal focused on reducing the duration and severity of illness and disability experienced in the final years of life. In the context of hormonal health, this means optimizing endocrine status to maintain high functional capacity for as long as possible. The objective is to maximize the period of robust health preceding inevitable decline. This concept directly challenges the passive acceptance of age-related functional erosion.
