Various symptoms are typical of severe testosterone deficiency in young men; in aging men, however, these symptoms are nonspecific and overlap with symptoms of other prevalent disorders. A new study offers evidence-based criteria for the identification of late-onset hypogonadism in the general population on the basis of an association between symptoms and a low testosterone level.
