Abstract

In this opinion piece, we introduce the concept of
ergonomic endocrinology. Ergonomic endocrinology is
defined as the bidirectional and multifaceted relationship
between endocrine health and dysfunction on one hand,
and ergonomic design and engineering on the other. We
describe the various domains of ergonomic
endocrinology, using the classification rubric of physical,
cognitive and organizational ergonomics. We highlight
ways in which endocrinology can contribute to the
enhancement of ergonomics
Keywords: Diabetes, hypoglycaemia, person centred
care, PCOS, sarcopenia, Vitamin D.
