Decreased Testosterone in the Aging Male

[摘要] Testosterone deficiency in the aging male is associated with the loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, depression, decreased cognitive ability, lethargy, osteoporosis, and loss of muscle mass and strength. This constellation of symptoms is known collectively as andropause, or ADAM (androgen deficiency of the aging male), and the syndrome is likely to become more common as the baby-boomer generation continues to grow older.
