Andropause
Gradual testosterone decline in men, typically 1% per year after age 30.
Environment changes
- Testosterone and DHEA decline
- Muscle mass and bone density reduction
- Metabolic changes
- Sleep quality may decline
Key considerations
- Distinguish normal aging from pathological hypogonadism
- TRT only for documented deficiency with symptoms
- Resistance training and protein intake critical
- Cardiovascular and prostate monitoring if on TRT
