The Ovary's Crucial Role in Women's Health and Longevity

Research reveals that the ovary plays a crucial role in women's overall health and longevity beyond reproduction, influencing risks for diseases like cardiovascular issues, osteoporosis, and cognitive decline. Ovarian aging impacts hormone production, especially estrogen, which affects bone, heart, brain health, and metabolism. While lifestyle changes and hormone therapies can manage symptoms and potentially delay ovarian decline, there is limited research and tools to accurately track ovarian aging or significantly extend ovarian health. Future advancements may include personalized treatments and noninvasive diagnostics to improve women's health span.
