No relationship between testosterone levels and depressive symptoms in aging men.
We investigated the associations between depression and serum testosterone levels in the elderly. There was no significant difference in the mean levels of the serum testosterone between the groups of patients and normals. For both groups, there was no significant correlation between testosterone and total depression scores or age.
