Prevalence of Testosterone Deficiency in Elderly Male and its Association with Frailty and Mobility at a Tertiary Care Centre.

Background And Objectives: Several cross-sectional and prospective longitudinal studies have shown a progressive decline in Serum (S) Testosterone levels with an increase in age. The clinical consequence of this decline in S Testosterone is not clear from the prevailing data. Several ageing features like decreased libido, Osteo-sarcopenia, anemia, and depressed mood may be associated with reduced androgen levels in elderly males.
