Older age does not cause testosterone levels to decline in healthy men
Older age does not cause testosterone levels to decline in healthy men
I suppose the take-home lesson is stay healthy and stay without test problems: http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-06-o … althy.html
Very encouraging stuff.

Re: Older age does not cause testosterone levels to decline in healthy men
Just stumbled across this post by Adam and read the article. Essentially it concluded that declining testosterone levels in 'older' men is not the cause of degenerating health, but rather the degenerating health causes a drop in testosterone.
The implication is that by training for, and living, a healthy lifestyle we can maintain higher testosterone levels into later life.
But how many of us make a health a factor in our lifestyles? Do you just accept health as part of being young? do you actually sacrifice your health for short term training/physique goals?
Whats your take on this?

My take on this is you loose what you dont use as you get older. A lot of people blame getting older for their own laziness. They neglect to take into account the fact that they watch tv all night and rarely are active. Im 42 and as active as any young guy and im nothing special but I always kept active and tried to keep a healthy mind. I think its the mind is the key to this. By staying young in mind you'll do it in body too.

Re: Older age does not cause testosterone levels to decline in healthy men
good post this pretty interesting.
i do feel that the older you get your'e test levels will dip slightly.the only way to get a full reading to see if decreases any is to use some subject's and measure test levels when 18 then 20-30 years on test again.having some who train and some who don't.would be a very interesting to see what happens?
but there is alot you can do to fight this obviously by keeping healthy and i don't think healthiness is just part of youth. one example randy courture he's probably fitter than 80% of young people.
