Abstract in brief

  • Androgens are key sex hormones in men that support essential bodily functions, and their decline with age is linked to cognitive impairment in older men.
  • Basic research suggests androgens have neuroprotective roles, with deficiencies leading to increased oxidative stress and reduced synaptic plasticity, which impair cognitive function.
  • Clinical studies indicate that low androgen levels are associated with cognitive decline, and testosterone supplementation may improve cognitive outcomes in aging men.]
