Higher Testosterone Helps Older Men Preserve Muscle Mass
Older men, who have higher levels of the male hormone testosterone, suffer less loss of lean muscle mass, scientists have recently found out.
Men lose more muscle mass and strength than women as they age, suggesting that sex steroids, testosterone in particular, may contribute to body composition and physical changes.
The study performed at Kaiser Permanente Northwest in Portland - OR, found that higher testosterone levels may help older men preserve muscle mass and delay frailty as they age. The study has been published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.
"This study finds that mature men with higher testosterone levels lost less muscle mass, especially in their arms, chest and legs, than other men who had lower testosterone levels," says Dr. Welch.

Researchers used data from 1,183 men aged 65 years or older and tested the hypothesis that higher baseline measures of sex steroids are associated with lesser declines in lean mass and maintenance of physical performance over an average follow-up of 4.5 years.
