    Description

    Humana Press Endocrinology of Aging 1st Editon 2011 Softbound by John E. Morley, Lucretia van den Berg

    Distinguished physicians critically review the clinical consequences of the endocrinological changes that occur with aging-in both men and women-and examine the use of hormonal therapy to reduce them. Topics range from bone disease and water balance in all older people, to androgen deficiency in aging males, gynecomastia, and menopause. The authors also discuss Type II diabetes in persons over 65, emphasizing the cognitive benefits of good glycemia control, and the interaction of nutrition and metabolism, focusing on hypocholesterolemia, obesity, the anorexia of aging, trace elements, and vitamins. The aging of the sympathetic nervous system and its impact on hypertension in the elderly is also covered. Timely and authoritative, Endocrinology of Aging offers endocrinologists, geriatricians, and primary care physicians critical insight into the endocrine problems of our rapidly growing elderly population. 1 Biological Theories of Aging.- 2 Tithonusism: Is it Reversible?.- 3 Hypothalamic Growth Hormone-IGF-I Axis.- 4 Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Thyroid Axis in Aging.- 5 Stress, Hormones, and Aging.- 6 Water Balance in Older Persons.- 7 Bone Disease and Aging.- 8 Paget’s Disease of Bone.- 9 Testosterone.- 10 Gynecomastia.- 11 Menopause.- 12 Diabetes in the Elderly.- 13 Evaluation and Management of Obesity in the Elderly.- 14 Nutrition, Exercise, and Aging.- 15 The Sympathetic Nervous System.- 16 Metabolic and Cardiovascular Factors Contributing to Hypertension in the Elderly.
