Endocrine Decline

Meaning

Endocrine decline refers to the age-related or pathological reduction in the production, secretion, or biological effectiveness of hormones by the various glands of the endocrine system. This physiological shift often results in measurable changes in circulating hormone levels and a diminished responsiveness of target tissues. It is a key factor in the aging process, contributing to changes in metabolic function, bone density, and overall vitality.
