Today, 24 April 2025, marks the first-ever World Hormone Day, a global campaign to raise awareness of the vital role of hormones in human health. After three successful years of European Hormone Day, the European Society of Endocrinology (ESE) and the European Hormone and Metabolism Foundation (ESE Foundation) have moved to a worldwide campaign this year in response to requests from the global endocrine community.
Endocrinology is the study of hormones. When they are out of balance or fail, this can lead to the development of prevalent chronic diseases such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, cancer, osteoporosis and obesity, and other health challenges such as infertility. Despite their impact, these conditions are often underdiagnosed and undertreated.
