Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the choices are correct. As people age, the secretory activity of endocrine glands decreases, resulting in a decline in hormone production. Normal levels of hormones, particularly growth hormone and sex hormones, often decrease. The efficiency of endocrine system functions reduces with age, which can lead to imbalances that cause weight gain or muscle loss.
