Correlates of low testosterone and symptomatic androgen deficiency in a population-based sample
Open accessAbstract
CONTEXT: Risk factors for low testosterone and symptomatic androgen deficiency (AD) may be modifiable. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to examine demographic, anthropometric, and medical correlates of low testosterone and symptomatic AD. DESIGN: Data were used from the Boston Area Community Health Survey, an epidemiological study conducted from 2002-2005. SETTING: Data were obtained from a community-based random sample of racially and ethnically diverse men. PATIENTS OR OTHER PARTICIPANTS: Data were available for 1822 men. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Multivariate logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for associations of covariates with 1) low testosterone and 2) symptomatic AD. The operational definition of low testosterone was serum total testosterone less than 300 ng/dl and free testosterone less than 5 ng/dl; symptomatic AD was defined as the additional presence of symptoms: any of low libido, erectile dysfunction, or osteoporosis or two or more of sleep disturbance, depressed mood, lethargy, or diminished physical performance. RESULTS: Factors associated with low testosterone included age (OR = 1.36; 95% CI= 1.11-1.66, per decade), low per-capita income ($6000 or less per household member vs. more than $30,000; OR = 2.86; 95% CI = 1.39-5.87), and waist circumference (per 10-cm increase; OR = 1.75; 95% CI = 1.45-2.12). Only age (OR = 1.36; 95% CI = 1.04-1.77), waist circumference (OR = 1.88; 95% CI = 1.44-2.47), and health status (OR = 0.21; 95% CI = 0.05-0.92, excellent vs. fair/poor) were associated with our construct of symptomatic AD. Of all variables, waist circumference was the most important contributor in both models. CONCLUSIONS: Waist circumference is a potentially modifiable risk factor for low testosterone and symptomatic AD. Manifestation of symptoms may be a consequence of generally poor health status.

In a cross-sectional analysis among 1822 men from the Boston Area Community Health cohort, central adiposity was the strongest risk factor for symptomatic androgen deficiency, overriding age and overall health status.

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.
