Pd09-10 impaired sleep is associated with low testosterone in us adult males: results from the national health and nutrition survey

Testosterone deficiency has been linked to several adverse health outcomes - including cardiovascular disease, erectile dysfunction, and metabolic syndrome.

Using the 2011- 2012 National Health and Nutrition Surveys (NHANES) we assessed the effect of self-reported sleep patterns on serum testosterone while controlling for physical activity levels, co-morbidities, and baseline demographics.
