Serono Symposia International Foundation would like to thank Dr Merriam, Professor Strollo, and Dr Walker for their presentations at the sponsored Symposia at the 3rd World Congress on The Aging Male. Each of these presentations provided insight and background into the biologic processes that contribute to aging, and the ways in which growth hormone (GH), and other factors associated with the hypothalamo-pituitary axis may prevent or reverse some of these processes.

The target audience was physicians and other health professionals interested or trained in Endocrinology.


Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this program, the participant will be able to:

• Differentiate the process of aging from the conditions of disease.
• Identify the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the overall decline of pineal, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, gonadal and medullary adrenal function in the elderly.
• Evaluate age-related changes in homeostasis regulating systems in different neuroendocrine axis.
• Identify different treatments approaches in aging.
