Physiological Decline

Meaning

Physiological decline is the gradual, age-associated deterioration of functional capacity across various organ systems and biological processes, leading to reduced resilience and increased vulnerability to disease. This pervasive phenomenon encompasses a measurable reduction in hormonal output, decreased cellular repair mechanisms, and a progressive loss of muscle mass and cognitive reserve. Clinical interventions in hormonal health often aim to mitigate or reverse specific aspects of this natural, systemic decline to promote healthy longevity.
