Area of Science:

  • Gerontology and Endocrinology
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • Global population aging driven by increased life expectancy and reduced fertility.
  • Aging is associated with increased ill health and disability, impacting quality of life.
  • Maintaining active, independent living is key for healthy aging and dignity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Promote healthy aging and prevent disability, particularly in men.
  • Integrate health and aging promotion into medical research, practice, and policy.
  • Enhance the efficiency of health/social services and improve elderly quality of life.

Main Methods:

  • Focus on gender differences in aging, especially hormone-related changes in men.
  • Investigate endocrine function decline: testosterone, DHEA, estrogen, TSH, GH, IGF-1, melatonin.

  • Examine hormonal shifts: decreased androgens, increased LH/FSH, and SHBG.

    • Main Results:

    • Aging men experience a gradual decline in hormones like testosterone and growth hormone.
    • Increased sex hormone-binding globulins (SHBG) reduce biologically active androgens.
    • Hormone replacement therapy may mitigate conditions from endocrine deficiency.

    Conclusions:

    • Preventive strategies (healthy lifestyle, safe environment) reduce health costs and suffering.
    • Effective programs improve elderly quality of life, enabling productivity and societal contribution.
    • Increased public awareness and intensified research are vital for addressing aging challenges.
