In Poland, the number of men over the age of 50 years exceeds 6 million. It is estimated that about 2-6% of this population develops symptoms of late-onset hypogonadism (LOH). In men, testosterone deficiency increases slightly with age. LOH is a clinically and biochemically defined disease of older men with serum testosterone level below the reference parameters of younger healthy men and with symptoms of testosterone deficiency, manifested by pronounced disturbances of quality of life and harmful effects on multiple organ systems. Testosterone replacement therapy may give several benefits regarding body composition, metabolic control, and psychological and sexual parameters.
在波兰,50岁以上男性的数量超过600万。据估计,这一人群中约有2%至6%会出现迟发性性腺功能减退(LOH)的症状。在男性中,睾酮缺乏会随着年龄的增长而略有增加。LOH是一种临床和生化定义的老年男性疾病,其血清睾酮水平低于年轻健康男性的参考参数,并伴有睾酮缺乏的症状,表现为生活质量明显受到干扰以及对多个器官系统产生有害影响。睾酮替代疗法在身体成分、代谢控制以及心理和性参数方面可能会带来诸多益处。
