Testosterone and Sarcopenia

Abstract

Aging affects metabolism, leading to physiological and functional impairments, and is also related to changes in body composition, including reduced skeletal muscle mass and increased body fat. These changes are correlated with the pathophysiology of sarcopenia, which is defined as age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength. Low testosterone levels are associated with unfavorable body composition changes, and sex hormones decrease with aging. Androgen deficiency, along with lack of exercise and poor nutrition, may be among the modifiable contributors to sarcopenia. Testosterone treatment has been reported to have beneficial effects on muscle mass and function, but the results have been inconsistent. Here, we discuss the correlation between testosterone and muscle mass and function, the impact of testosterone on sarcopenia, and the probable mechanisms underlying these effects.
