Cortisol is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands in response to stress. It plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including regulating metabolism, immune response, and blood pressure. In older adults, prolonged exposure to elevated cortisol levels can contribute to a range of health issues. This includes impaired immune function, increased risk of cardiovascular disease, muscle wasting, cognitive decline, and exacerbation of age-related conditions such as osteoporosis and diabetes.
