Resources for World Hormone Day stakeholders
- Endocrinology is the study of hormones, which are essential for health and wellbeing. When hormones are out of balance or fail, this can lead to the development of chronic diseases such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, cancer, osteoporosis and obesity, and other health challenges such as infertility.
- There are also more than 400 rare endocrine conditions that affect millions of people worldwide, but often go undetected.
- Despite scientific progress and increased awareness in some areas, there’s still a lot more that can be done. World Hormone Day is an opportunity for us to work together to put hormones in the spotlight.
- ESE published 10 Recommendations for Good Hormone Health as an Annex to the Milano Declaration. These recommendations are a great place to start when thinking about small steps to take.
