Study finds high testosterone levels can lower lean muscle mass loss in older males

Tweet

A recent study on the health of aging men found that high testosterone levels can lead to a reduced loss of lean muscle mass in older males.

Accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, the study found the correlation is more common among men who were in the process of losing weight.

"The amount of testosterone men have in their bodies may contribute to how much muscle and strength they lose as they get older," said Erin LeBlanc, lead author of the study. "Our study adds evidence to the growing body of literature that suggest higher levels of endogenous testosterone may be favorably associated with some key components of healthy aging in men."

Maintaining good health is important for all senior citizens as they age and become more susceptible to sometimes life-threatening illnesses. It's important for everyone as they age to think of the financial security of loved ones, which is where the right life insurance policy comes into play. Comparing quotes from different providers online is a proven way to get the most low cost policy available.
