1 Men with AAA had lower serum total and free testosterone (mean +/- sd 14.5 +/- 6.0 vs. 15.5 +/- 5.6 nmol/liter, P = 0.005 and 256 +/- 87 vs. 280 +/- 97 pmol/liter, P < 0.001, respectively) compared with men without. Testosterone AAA1 Homo sapiens
2 In multivariate analysis adjusting for potential confounders, free testosterone was negatively associated with AAA (odds ratio per 1 sd increase: 0.84, 95% confidence interval 0.72-0.98, P = 0.026). Testosterone AAA1 Homo sapiens
3 CONCLUSIONS: Lower free testosterone and higher LH levels are independently associated with AAA in older men. Testosterone AAA1 Homo sapiens
