Negative association between 15 obesity- and lipid-related indices and testosterone in adult males: a population based cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An association exists between obesity and reduced testosterone levels in males. The propose of this research is to reveal the correlation between 15 indices linked to obesity and lipid levels with the concentration of serum testosterone, and incidence of testosterone deficiency (TD) among adult American men.

Methods

The study utilized information gathered from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) carried out from 2011 to 2016. The condition known as TD is typically characterized by a total serum testosterone level that falls below 300 ng/dL. The analysis used weighted linear and logistic regression methods to announce the association between 15 obesity- and lipid-related factors and serum testosterone levels as well as TD.
