Decade Body

Meaning

The Decade Body is a conceptual model that characterizes the cumulative physiological and metabolic changes, particularly hormonal shifts, that define an individual’s health trajectory across each ten-year span of adult life. It acknowledges that the body’s baseline of endocrine function, metabolic capacity, and regenerative potential undergoes predictable, though modifiable, transformations with each passing decade. This framework encourages proactive, decade-specific health interventions rather than reactive management of age-related decline.
