Markers of Female Reproductive Aging in Anti-Aging Drug Trials

Updated

Abstract

In 2024, 10% of the global population, approximately 830 million people, are aged 65 years and older.

  • The aging population is projected to reach nearly 20% or 1.7 billion people by 2050.
  • Menopause significantly increases the risks of age-associated diseases in women.
  • There is limited understanding of biomarkers related to female reproductive aging in gerotherapeutic clinical trials.
  • Previous trials have mostly focused on cardiometabolic, neurocognitive, and musculoskeletal outcomes rather than reproductive aging.
  • Recognizing ovarian aging as a critical factor in women's overall health extends beyond fertility.
  • A variety of established and emerging biomarkers for female reproductive aging are discussed for use in clinical trials.
