In this Consensus Document on substitution therapy with DHEA in the elderly we examine: the age-correlated decline, the mechanism of action and the biochemical assessment of dehydroepiandrosterone both in males and females; the potential biological effects of DHEA on the the different systems, functions and metabolisms in the elderly; the potential side effects of DHEA substitution therapy; the available preparations of DHEA. Eventually we suggest some final recommendations about DHEA.

Abstract

In this Consensus Document on substitution therapy with DHEA in the elderly we examine: the age-correlated decline, the mechanism of action and the biochemical assessment of dehydroepiandrosterone both in males and females; the potential biological effects of DHEA on the the different systems, functions and metabolisms in the elderly; the potential side effects of DHEA substitution therapy; the available preparations of DHEA. Eventually we suggest some final recommendations about DHEA.
