Abstract in brief

  • This study shows that in men aged 20-59, higher testosterone levels are linked to increased muscle mass but not to greater muscle strength.
  • For women, no significant relationship was found between testosterone levels and either muscle mass or strength.
  • The findings suggest testosterone impacts the amount of muscle (mass) but doesn't necessarily improve how strong the muscles are in young to middle-aged men.]

@zaelefty "Testosterone levels positively linked to muscle mass but not strength in adult males aged 20–59 years: a cross-sectional study." Newer studies also weaken the prior link between testosterone and aggression. Science is but a theory, ever evolving. https://t.co/nfxkeoslwB

Think about this for a moment: Testosterone linked to muscle mass (β 0.05, p<0.001) but not grip strength in young men. How do you define strength in your life? Zhu et al., “Testosterone levels positively linked to muscle mass but not strength,” Frontiers in Physiology (2025).
