Androgen Deficiency Prevalence

Meaning

Androgen Deficiency Prevalence refers to the statistical measure of the proportion of a specific male population exhibiting clinically significant low levels of androgens, primarily testosterone, at a given time. This metric combines biochemical evidence of hypogonadism with the presence of corresponding clinical symptoms, such as decreased libido, fatigue, and muscle weakness. Understanding this prevalence is crucial for public health planning and allocating resources for hormonal health screening. The figures vary substantially based on the diagnostic criteria employed and the age group studied.
