Results: Individuals categorized as having prediabetes or diabetes were more likely to have lower osteocalcin, testosterone, and SHBG levels compared to those with normal glucose tolerance (p < .05 in males). In aging males, after adjusting for age, the negative association between osteocalcin and...
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 on etiologies relating to aging males. There is...

The clinical significance of this decrease is debatable, and there is no general agreement regarding if and when to treat aging men with testosterone replacement therapy. The position of the American Society of Andrology is that testosterone thera...
Safety and efficacy of testosterone replacement therapy in men with late-onset hypogonadism (i.e., low testosterone concentrations related to aging) not established. Further study needed to elucidate the role of testosterone replacement therapy in treatment of this condition....
severely affect the health of aging males, increasing the risk of diabetes [9,10], dementia [11], cardiovascular disease [12], and mortality [13]. In addition, low testosterone levels can adversely affect male fertility [14]. Given the vital role testosterone plays in the body, McBride et...
With the male sex drive plummeting after you crossing your prime, chances are higher that the body parts would be undergoing hormonal changes. Testosterone has been deemed as the most important hormone in males. With its depletion, mostly after 30 years of age and reaching the age of 40, you...

In humans, low testosterone men might have an advantage as nurturant partners and parents because they are less prone to anger and reactive aggression and are more empath...
