Summary Background Physiologic processes during ageing leading to multi-morbidity and diseases that increase risk of premature death may be influenced by ageing-associated changes in endogenous hormone production. Objective To evaluate the decline in sex steroid hormone levels across age and estimate the number of US men 40+ years old who may have low hormone levels. Design We measured serum testosterone, oestradiol and sex hormone binding globulin by immunoassay in 1351 men 20+ years old in Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. We estimated free hormones by mass action. Results Free testosterone declined most rapidly with age (a 2% decline in geometric mean concentration occurred after ageing 1·3 years), followed by total testosterone (2·4 years), free oestradiol (4·1 years) and total oestradiol (8·1 years). These hormone changes with age translated into 25·0% and 30·2% of men 70+ years old having low total (which we defined as <10·4 n [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
