Long-Term Health Trajectories

Meaning

Long-Term Health Trajectories refers to the cumulative, predicted, or empirically observed patterns of an individual’s overall health status, physiological resilience, and susceptibility to disease extending over multiple decades of the lifespan. In the clinical sphere of endocrinology, this concept underscores how early life events, chronic hormonal environments, and specific therapeutic interventions collectively shape the course of aging, vitality, and the eventual onset of age-related, chronic conditions.
