title: Treatment of androgen deficiency in the aging male.
abstract: Although guidelines for androgen replacement therapy for older men have been developed by several groups, the data to support treatment are based on the results of only a small number of clinical trials. It has not been definitively established that the decline in testosterone seen in most aging men results in an androgen deficient state with health-related outcomes that can be improved by androgen therapy.
