The American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE) is a professional medical organisation representing endocrinologists across the United States. Founded in 1991, it focuses on clinical practice in metabolic, hormonal, and nutrition-related disease — including diabetes, thyroid disorders, obesity, osteoporosis, and adrenal conditions.
What AACE does
AACE develops evidence-based clinical practice guidelines, runs continuing medical education programmes, and publishes the journal Endocrine Practice. Its guideline series is widely cited in the management of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and lipid disorders, and informs how clinicians translate research into bedside decisions.
Why it matters for wellbeing coverage
Endocrine health sits at the intersection of metabolism, nutrition, sleep, and stress — the same axes wellbeing literature returns to repeatedly. AACE statements on obesity treatment, vitamin D status, and hormone replacement carry weight in mainstream medical practice, which makes them a useful reference point when separating supplement marketing from clinical consensus.
