[Hormonal "rejuvenation". Warning your patients from false claims!].

Abstracto
No intervention, including drugs and hormones, has been proven to slow or even reverse aging. Such promises, as well as the term "anti-aging medicine", are misleading. On the other hand, remarkable progress has been made in the prevention and treatment of age-related diseases. The use of hormones constitutes a potentially new option in the prevention and treatment of age-related diseases, but is not an established therapy. The status of scientific evidence for the treatment of seniors with growth hormone, melatonin, DHEA or testosterone is critically reviewed.
