Article Synopsis
- High-dose testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) combined with finasteride offers benefits such as improved body composition, muscle strength, and bone density in older men, while mitigating the risk of prostate enlargement.
- A pilot study involved 12 men with spinal cord injuries, demonstrating that TRT with finasteride significantly increased lean body mass and muscle size, alongside enhancing bone mineral density compared to a placebo.
- Results suggest TRT + finasteride reduced fat mass and improved muscular strength, with measurable benefits observed as early as 6 months into the treatment, indicating its potential effectiveness for men with low testosterone post-injury.

Testosterone is a natural hormone which is an essential factor to maintain the physical and emotional well-being in men, regardless of age. Male hypogonadism is an endocrinal condition of testosterone deficiency with the potential to cause multiple physical complaints and psychosocial problems. The condition can be of primary (due to testicular injury), secondary (due to diseases of the hypothalamus or pituitary gland) or functional nature (due to comorbidities, such as inflammatory diseases, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus).

Objective: To examine whether low circulating sex steroid concentrations are associated with the incidence of knee and hip replacement for osteoarthritis in community-dwelling older women.
Study Design: This prospective cohort study examined 5535 Australian women recruited into the Aspirin in Reducing Events in the Elderly (ASPREE) trial, aged ≥70 years, not taking medications affecting sex steroid concentrations, and with sex steroid concentrations measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.
Main Outcome Measures: The incidence of knee and hip replacement for osteoarthritis was determined by hospitalisations for knee and hip surgical procedures where osteoarthritis was recorded as the indication.
