Study Debunks ‘Andropause’ in Aging Men
In this article by Bruce Jancin of the Clinical Endocrinology News Digital Network, the often discussed age-related decline in testosterone and popularized concept of ‘andropause” is rejected. In a study of 1,382 males approximately 54 years of age who were followed over 5 years, testosterone levels did not decrease significantly. What was interesting about the analyses is that lower testosterone seems to be an important indicator of the overall health status of older males. One of the important preventive measures is to keep fit and to avoid putting on excessive weight.
