Body fat reportedly tracks testosterone levels more closely than age in nearly 5,000 men
A post describing an analysis of U.S. survey data says age explained 2.5% of testosterone variation among men ages 20–59, compared with 18.2% for total body fat and 19.9% for waist circumference.
TLDR
A post says researchers analyzed data from nearly 5,000 men ages 20–59 and found that body-fat measures explained more variation in testosterone levels than age did. The post notes that the study captured a snapshot in time, so it cannot establish whether fat gain causes testosterone decline or the reverse. Testosterone was measured only once, and the findings do not establish clinical diagnoses.
