Testosterone levels decrease as men age, and aging has been associated with declines in muscle mass and strength. Decreased functional mobility can impact quality of life. Aging has also been associated with increased vulnerability to depressive symptomatology. The purpose of this study was to ...
Testosterone deficiency (TD), also known as male hypogonadism, is a complex syndrome encompassing physical, biochemical, and social aspects that increasingly affects the aging population. TD has been analyzed over recent decades, with an enhanced focus o
