Unlock the Secrets of Endocrinology of Aging: Clinical Aspects in Diagrams and Images

As the global population ages, endocrinologists and clinicians face the significant challenge of caring for the elderly. According to the United Nations, the number of people aged 60 years or over is projected to reach 1.4 billion in 2030 and 2.1 billion in 2050, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of geriatric pathology.

Incorporating Geriatric Principles into Clinical Practice

To provide optimal care for the elderly, clinicians must incorporate geriatric principles into their clinical practice. This involves understanding the physiological changes that occur with aging, which alter the pathophysiology of the clinical picture, and explaining the characteristic pathological expressions of hormonal and metabolic disorders in advanced age.

A Comprehensive Guide to Endocrinology of Aging

Endocrinology of Aging: Clinical Aspects in Diagrams and Images presents chapters divided according to specific endocrine and metabolic systems, providing evidence-based content regarding what is known about the function of endocrine and metabolic systems altered during the aging process.

Expert Insights from Renowned Clinicians

Edited by clinical endocrinologists, geriatricians, internists, and endocrine surgeons with extensive global experience in clinical and experimental gerontology, this comprehensive guide offers unparalleled insights into the endocrinological challenges of aging.

A Visual Approach to Complex Subjects

With a unique approach that incorporates diagrams and images to explain complex subjects, this book enables readers to quickly grasp and incorporate key concepts and main facts into their clinical practice.

Focus on Age as an Essential Factor

This book considers the patient transitioning from young adult to elderly, discussing the endocrinological challenge to discern physiology from pathology and highlighting the importance of age as an essential factor for diagnostic and endocrine management.

With its focus on the clinical aspects of endocrinology of aging, this book is an invaluable resource for practicing physicians seeking to improve their understanding of geriatric pathology and provide high-quality care for their elderly patients.
