Supported Testing to be done on Studies of Testosterone Therapy in Older Men

Low serum testosterone may contribute to a number of problems affecting older men, indluding decreased ability to walk, loss of muscle mass and strength, decreased vitality, decreased sexual function, impaired cognition, cardiovascular disease and anemia. While testosterone normally decreases with age, in some men, low levels of testosterone may contribute to these debilitating conditions. A new national clinical trial will test whether these conditions can be favorably affected by testosterone therapy.

Researchers know that as men age, a significant proportion are unable to carry out activities of daily living and experience descreased physical and cognitive function and decreased independence. It is still being tested to see the extent to which low levels of testosterone may contribute to these conditions. The studies are aiming to answer certain questions by testing the effectiveness of testosterone therapy in older men with low testosterone levels and one one of the following conditions: impaired walking, low vitality, sexual or cognitive dysfunction. A key consideration is the use of testosterone as a therapy for certain conditions, rather than a preventive measure.  Researchers consider this study to be highly important because testosterone products have been marketed for several years as treatments of a variety of conditions. They also hope that this study will estabilish whether testosterone therapy results in clear benefits for older men.
