@emkg.bsky.social (Bluesky)dude really puts the "K" in "rfk jr". That's all I have to say: "K." anyway: "Diagnosis of testosterone deficiency has traditionally been performed in an age-indiscriminate manner. However, young men have different testosterone reference ranges than older men." pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36282060/

@daniallogston (Twitter)Looking into adequate testosterone levels for my age. Mine is well within the normal levels. What I have a problem with, is that the average American is a fat lazy fuk. The t level bar keeps dropping. Is there a T study broken down by age and body fat%? https://t.co/m1YXKBEOiD

@HansAmato (Twitter)The hypogonadal cut-off point should be: 409 for between 20-24 years 413 for between 25-29 359 for between 30-34 352 for between 35-39 350 ng/dL for between 40-44 years old. IMO, the cut off point should be even higher. https://t.co/xoPDCPela4

view full postOctober 28, 2022
Abstract Synopsis
- This study investigates testosterone levels in men aged 20 to 44, aiming to establish age-specific cutoffs for testosterone deficiency rather than using the general cutoff of 300 ng/dL used for older men.
- An analysis of data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys identified different testosterone levels for various age intervals, finding middle tertile levels ranging from 350 to 575 ng/dL based on age groups.
- The results suggest that testosterone deficiency evaluations should consider age-specific normative values, as young men have distinctly higher testosterone levels compared to older men, necessitating tailored diagnostic criteria.
