Physiological Dysregulation

Meaning

Physiological dysregulation is a clinical state characterized by a sustained and measurable deviation from the body’s optimal homeostatic set points, resulting from an impaired capacity in one or more biological control systems. This condition reflects a loss of adaptive resilience and often manifests as chronic, low-grade imbalances in hormonal profiles, inflammatory cytokines, or metabolic parameters. It is widely considered a key precursor state to the development of overt chronic diseases and a core component of age-related decline.
