Recent studies have revealed significant insights into the effects of hormone therapy (HT) and aging. One study published in JAMA Network Open found that HT in postmenopausal women is linked to a reduction in biological age, suggesting potential health benefits during menopause. Concurrently, research in Nature Aging identified critical periods of accelerated aging, specifically around the ages of 44 and 60, indicating that aging is not a linear process but features significant molecular shifts. Additionally, Dr. Celine Gounder highlighted that HT may help slow the aging process in women. In men, declining testosterone levels are associated with various health issues, including fatigue and reduced muscle mass, as noted by experts in the field. Furthermore, research at Augusta University is investigating the potential link between hormone therapy for prostate cancer and an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease, raising concerns about the implications of androgen deprivation therapy.
