Somatopause Management

Meaning

Somatopause Management is a clinical strategy focused on diagnosing and treating the age-related decline in Growth Hormone (GH) and its downstream mediator, Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), a condition collectively known as somatopause. This comprehensive management aims to mitigate the associated physiological consequences, which typically include reduced lean body mass, increased visceral adiposity, decreased bone mineral density, and compromised quality of life. Therapeutic interventions, often involving Growth Hormone Secretagogues or GH replacement therapy, are meticulously titrated based on clinical symptoms and regular biomarker monitoring to restore youthful endocrine function and promote longevity.
