It has been recently reported that age may not be the only factor that makes Testosterone levels drop.
On the contrary, a new study suggests that it’s more likely among older men with declining general health.
Delving further into this report, Australian researchers found that blood testosterone amounts didn’t fall in older men with optimal health and it should be noted that this perhaps may falsify prior research indicating age-related testosterone deficiency contributes to deteriorating health, fatigue and libido loss.

For the general public, the data, gathered as part of the Healthy Man Study, is scheduled to be presented Tuesday at the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in Boston.
“Our interpretation is that age in and of itself does not reduce blood testosterone levels . . . but the accumulating disorders as men age, some preventable and some not, some genetic and some environmental, do have such an impact, albeit pretty modest,” said study author Dr. David Handelsman, a professor of reproductive endocrinology and andrology at the University of Sydney.
To conclude the report, Dr. David Handelsman says: “This would make the drive for testosterone treatment for the well-known — but overrated — age-related decline in blood testosterone misguided,” added Handelsman, also director of the university’s ANZAC Research Institute. “But, of course, we could be wrong.”
