Sex Hormones and Age: A Cross-sectional Study of Testosterone and Estradiol and Their Bioavailable Fractions in Community-dwelling Men
Abstract
The role of endogenous sex hormones in many diseases makes understanding factors that influence levels of these hormones increasingly important. This study examined age-associated variations in total and bioavailable testosterone and estradiol levels among community-dwelling Caucasian men in Rancho Bernardo, California. Plasma samples obtained from 810 men aged 24-90 years in 1984-1987 were analyzed in 1993 using radioimmunoassay. Analyses of age-hormone associations, adjusting for weight, body mass index, alcohol ingestion, smoking, physical activity, caffeine intake, specimen storage time, and disease status, were undertaken. Bioavailable testosterone and bioavailable estradiol levels decreased significantly with age independently of covariates. Total testosterone and estradiol levels decreased with age only when analyses were controlled for confounders. The importance of the age-associated decline in endogenous sex hormone levels, particularly levels of bioavailable testosterone and bioavailable estradiol, and their relation to disease and function in men deserve further research.

In the citing paper
“A larger study evaluating 1588 men >age 35 years over a 5-year period found that age was not an independent predictor of decreasing T on multivariate analysis, while obesity, smoking status, chronic medical conditions, lifestyle factors, depression, and marital status all likely contributed to the observed decline.”

In the citing paper
“Two additional longitudinal studies reported a 3.6–3.8 ng/dl/year (0.12–0.13 nmol/L/year) decrease in TT, with progressive increases in the number of men characterized as biochemically hypogonadal (defined as TT<325 ng/dl [11.3 nmol/l] or fT<2.5th percentile): 20% (>60 years), 30% (>70 years), and 50% (>80 years).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
