ABSTRACT
Population aging is becoming the biggest medical challenge of the 21st century. The body of elderly people shows a decreased ability to adapt to changing environmental and intracorporeal conditions. Aging is a process that is complex and stretches over a considerable length of time. As we get older our bodies progressively change, including the endocrine system. The changes are not unidirectional and do not affect all the endocrine glands to the same degree. The secretion of some hormones becomes impaired, while the secretion of other ones increases. There are also some hormones whose secretion does not change. The frequent concomitance of chronic diseases and taking many medications makes it difficult to interpret the results of studies on changes in hormone secretion in elderly people. This paper focuses on aging-related changes in the secretion of growth hormone, thyroid hormones, parathyroid and adrenal hormones.
