Overview

Human life extension in developed countries and related social, medical and economic consequences have become a growing matter of public concern. Impaired physical and mental performance in elderly individuals is not necessarily caused by age and deserves adequate dia­gnosis and therapy. Endocrine causes can be missed due to comorbidities and less frequent typical symp­toms. This review focuses on endocrine changes in aging.
