BACKGROUND
The association between aging-related testosterone deficiency and late-onset hypogonadism in men remains a controversial concept. We sought evidence-based criteria for identifying… Expand
Genome-wide association studies establish that human intelligence is highly heritable and polygenic
General intelligence is an important human quantitative trait that accounts for much of the variation in diverse cognitive abilities. Individual differences in intelligence are strongly associated… Expand

CONTEXT
The diagnosis of late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) in older men with age-related declines in testosterone (T) is currently not well characterized.
OBJECTIVE
Our objective was to investigate… Expand
Genome-wide association meta-analysis in 269,867 individuals identifies new genetic and functional links to intelligence

A functional brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene polymorphism (Val66Met) that alters activity‐dependent secretion has previously been reported to influence cognitive functioning. A large… Expand
Age-related changes in general and sexual health in middle-aged and older men: results from the European Male Ageing Study (EMAS).
INTRODUCTION
Limited information is available concerning the general and sexual health status of European men.
AIM
To investigate the age-related changes in general and sexual health in middle-aged… Expand
