Serum testosterone and estradiol decline with advancing age in men, but the contribution of these changes to age-related bone loss remains unclear. Most studies show a closer relationship between bone density and serum estradiol than with serum testosterone. Nevertheless, hypogonadism is widely considered to be an important cause of male osteoporosis, occurring in up to 20% of men with vertebral fractures and 50% with hip fractures. Bone loss in hypogonadal men has been attributed to androgen… CONTINUE READING
