Pubertal Hormonal Storms as a Predictor of Cardiovascular Problems: A Retrospective Study
Abstract
Puberty is a crucial developmental stage characterized by intense hormonal fluctuations within the body. During this period, the activation of the endocrine system leads to significant variations in the levels of estrogen, testosterone, cortisol, and growth hormones. These processes, often referred to as a “hormonal storm,” affect not only the reproductive system but also the functional state of the cardiovascular system. This retrospective study investigates the predictive role of hormonal changes during puberty in the development of future cardiovascular problems among adolescents.
The main objective of the study is to determine the relationship between hormone levels (particularly sex and stress hormones) and indicators such as blood pressure, heart rate, lipid profile, and body mass index. The analysis of the collected data revealed that adolescents experiencing hormonal imbalance have a higher likelihood of developing hypertension, arrhythmia, and metabolic syndrome later in life.
The findings highlight that early hormonal and cardiological monitoring during puberty can play a crucial role in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. The scientific and practical significance of this study lies in emphasizing the importance of comprehensive assessment of endocrine and cardiological parameters as a priority direction in healthcare to ensure the healthy development of adolescents.
