Hyperthyroidism, glucocorticoid excess, hyperparathyroidism, hypogonadism, and acromegaly decrease bone mineral density and aggravate the osteoporotic tendencies of elderly individuals. After effective treatment of endocrinopathy, the bone attempts to return to the normal mineral density. In most circumstances, however, this attempt is incomplete. Early diagnosis and treatment of these endocrine problems in older patients helps to maintain their skeletal integrity and prevent osteoporotic fractures.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007006	Hypogonadism	Condition resulting from deficient gonadal functions, such as GAMETOGENESIS and the production of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES. It is characterized by delay in GROWTH, germ cell maturation, and development of secondary sex characteristics. Hypogonadism can be due to a deficiency of GONADOTROPINS (hypogonadotropic hypogonadism) or due to primary gonadal failure (hypergonadotropic hypogonadism).
