Abstract

Any hope of a fountain of youth to stop people from getting older is a long way off, with science just beginning to understand the complex genetic, physical, and hormonal causes of aging. Clearly, modem research has demonstrated that the concept of a hormonal fountain of youth is predominantly mythology. The best evidence supporting use of hormonal replacement is vitamin D and estrogen replacement to prevent hip fractures. Other than that, treatment should be limited to hormone replacement in persons who have endocrine disease.

摘要

任何阻止人们衰老的青春之泉的希望都还很遥远，因为科学才刚刚开始理解衰老的复杂遗传、生理和激素原因。显然，现代研究表明，激素青春之泉的概念主要是神话。支持使用激素替代疗法的最佳证据是维生素D和雌激素替代疗法以预防髋部骨折。除此之外，治疗应仅限于患有内分泌疾病的人的激素替代。
