Abstract in brief

  • Testosterone treatment in men over 65 with low testosterone levels improved sexual desire, erectile function, and mood, but did not significantly enhance physical activity or vitality.
  • The study showed that raising testosterone levels to the mid-normal range for younger men was associated with moderate benefits in some areas but no clear overall health improvements.
  • The risks of adverse events were similar between those receiving testosterone and placebo, indicating that short-term testosterone therapy may be relatively safe for this group.]
