EMAS position statement: Testosterone replacement therapy in older men

People worldwide are living longer. The population aged over 60  years now surpasses 1 billion and is expected to double by 2050 [1]. Several population-based studies have documented an age-dependent, modest reduction of serum testosterone (T) concentrations in men after the fourth decade, with a decrease of about 1 % per year [2], and the T concentrations of some men will eventually drop below 8 nmol/L (250 ng/dL), the threshold agreed by most scientific societies to correspond to clinically meaningful testosterone deficiency (TD).
