Andropause Health Metrics

Meaning

Andropause Health Metrics represent a defined, quantitative set of physiological and biochemical indicators used in clinical practice to assess the severity, progression, and overall systemic impact of age-related androgen decline, a condition often referred to as andropause or late-onset hypogonadism in the male endocrine system. These metrics are comprehensive, extending beyond a simple total testosterone measurement to include the bioavailable fraction, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), luteinizing hormone (LH), and crucial markers of metabolic and bone health. They provide an objective, multifaceted view of gonadal function.
