Nocturnal Hypoxemia is Associated With Low Testosterone Levels in Overweight Males and Older Men With Normal Weight

Conclusions:In a large population of nonobese men with OSA, we demonstrated that hypoxemia (O2 nadir< 80%) and overweight are associated with reduced testosterone levels. This association was only observed among normal-weight individuals older than 50 years.Citation:Viana A Jr, Daflon AC, Couto A, Neves D, de Araujo-Melo MH, Capasso R.
