Objective: Emotional distress may be associated with severe aging symptoms. This study aimed to investigate aging symptoms in male psychiatric outpatients and their relationship with anxiety and depression.

Method: About 176 male psychiatric outpatients aged 40-80 years were enrolled into this single-center cross-sectional study, and completed self-reported questionnaires including "Aging Males' Symptoms" (AMS) scale and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).

The correlation between emotional distress and aging males' symptoms at a psychiatric outpatient clinic: sexual dysfunction as a distinguishing characteristic between andropause and anxiety/depression in aging men.

This study was designed to investigate the relationship between symptoms of aging, anxiety, and depression, and to determine if sexual dysfunction could be a differentiating characteristic in the psychiatric outpatient clinic.

The G-217A variant of the angiotensinogen gene affects basal transcription and is associated with hypertension in a Taiwanese population.

Objective: Polymorphisms of the angiotensinogen (AGT) gene, especially in the promoter region, are in linkage concordance and are associated with hypertension. In this study, we examined the role of AGT promoter polymorphisms, including G-217A, A-6G and M235T variants, and their promoter function in essential hypertension in Taiwanese populations.

Design: An association study was conducted to assess the genotype distribution between hypertensive patients and normotensive subjects.
