A new study at the New England Research Institutes in Watertown, Massachusetts, reveals that only 5.6 percent of the male population, actually suffer from low testosterone accompanied by clinical symptoms. However, the percentage rises substantially with age, as team concluded that for those men investigated in the study aged 70 or older, the percentage increased to 18.4 percent.
The study conclusions are based compiling data on 1,475 randomly selected men enrolled in the Boston Area Community Health (BACH) Survey. The survey tracked male subjects aged between of 30-79 and analyzed complete data on factors such as testosterone, symptoms of hormone deficiency, and medications that may influence sex hormone levels.
Study findings will appear in the November 2007 issue of the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, a publication of The Endocrine Society
