Relation between testosterone levels and body composition, physical functioning and selected biochemical parameters
Introduction:
The objective of the study was to examine the relationship between the values of selected parameters of physical function, body composition, body mass index (BMI) and biochemical markers of metabolic health with the total testosterone (TT) levels in adult males. We aimed to analyse the correlation between these values and variations in the TT levels.
Methods:
A total of 17 subjects (age = 50.2 ± 8.1 years, TT = 11.4 ± 3.8nmol/l) were included in the study. Subjects were tested on physical function (1RM on leg press, bench-press, handgrip, VO2max), body composition (DXA), biochemical parameters (morning fasting blood samples).
Results:
TT was inversely correlated with abdominal circumference (AC) (p.
