Association between cardiometabolic index and testosterone levels in adult men: NHANES 2011-2016.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Exploring the relationship between the cardiometabolic index (CMI) and serum testosterone levels as well as testosterone deficiency in American adult males. Additionally, comparing the diagnostic value of the CMI with several common obesity and metabolism indices for identifying testosterone deficiency.
