Androgen Deficiency
Despite the marketing blitz about "male menopause," and the need for supplements to ease those symptoms, androgen deficiency affects only a fraction of the male population. A survey by the Massachusetts Male Aging Study estimates that 12.2% of men between the ages of 40 and 69 are ‘possibly’ androgen deficient and 2.3% are ‘definitely’ androgen deficient.
The study does not establish a specific data point separating AD patients from non-AD patients, reflecting the challenge of defining what is unquestionably AD and what may be a natural and unavoidable consequence of aging.
