Does Testosterone level decline with age?
If you ask any elderly men about their endurance and sexual desire-the answer would be non-affirmative. What is the cause? Aging? The answer is a definite yes! But how is aging responsible for this syndrome? The answer lies in the testosterone level, which declines with age. Research shows that during puberty, its level is peaking. Its level is at their lifetime peak at the age of 25, and steadily decreases with age. Some clinical studies indicate that generally on average, testosterone level drop as much as 2% on yearly basis after the age of 30. The rate of decline is very much a factor of lifestyle. Individuals who exercise regularly have a much slower rate of decline. This is due to exercise to a certain extend stimulates the hormone secretion. A more prominent decline was observed in individuals who are heavy smokers and alcoholic.
