ENDOCRINE AGING: QUICK FACTS

Age: The only unarguable age-related changes in hormone levels are the inflection that occurs with menopause and the lesser and more gradual decline in androgenic hormones. There is a decline in growth hormone levels in most people, although whether it is related to aging, inactivity, changing sleep patterns, diet, or disease is in dispute.

Costs: Various estimates suggest that the global market for anti-aging endocrine therapies is now approaching $3 billion per year.

Diagnosis: Accurate diagnoses of hormone deficiency can be made on the basis of laboratory testing, although in some cases this requires special preparation or recurrent testing.

Treatment: For most hormones, treatments are available for cases where the level is lower than age-normal, but there remains substantial disagreement on the advisability of such therapies and a growing consensus that the risks usually outweigh the presumed benefits. Caveat emptor.
