How does estrogen influence the aging process in women and men, particularly in terms of skin elasticity, bone density and cognitive health and how do these effects differ between genders?
Estrogen helps maintain skin elasticity and bone density, while also supporting cognitive function. In women, its decline post-menopause can accelerate aging effects, whereas in men, gradual decrease minimizes these impacts.
Estrogen helps maintain skin elasticity by promoting collagen production. In bones, it enhances calcium retention, improving density. Cognitively, it aids in neural function. Post-menopause or in men, reduced estrogen levels can accelerate aging effects in these areas.
