Men with low testosterone levels die at a younger age

Every man knows how important testosterone is for building muscle. But the level of free testosterone in the blood is also crucial for life expectancy, as an analysis led by the Institute of Clinical Chemistry at the University of Greifswald has now shown. In the underlying population study, 1,954 men from Western Pomerania between the ages of 20 and 79 were observed over a period of seven years. 195 of the men died during the study period—their common trait: a below-average level of free testosterone. . In addition to a link between free testosterone levels and mortality in men, there are statistically significant associations between low testosterone concentrations and a higher risk of obesity, high blood pressure, fatty liver disease, and type 2 diabetes. Therefore, every man should aim to maintain high levels of free testosterone naturally, especially as he ages, when testosterone levels steadily decline by 1–2 percent, as experts also recommend.
