Andropause: clinical implications of the decline in serum testosterone levels with aging in men.
T is now well accepted that serum testosterone (T) levels decline progressively with aging in men (1–5). This decline is associated with alterations in body composition; diminished energy, muscle strength, and physical function; reduced sexual function; depressed mood; and decreased cognitive function. Similar changes occur in young men with androgen deficiency and are improved with T replaceme...

15 صفحه اولA population-level decline in serum testosterone levels in American men.
CONTEXT Age-specific estimates of mean testosterone (T) concentrations appear to vary by year of observation and by birth cohort, and estimates of longitudinal declines in T typically outstrip cross-sectional decreases. These observations motivate a hypothesis of a population-level decrease in T over calendar time, independent of chronological aging. OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to es...
