Testosterone Concentration and Incident Depression in Older Men: A Longitudinal Cohort Study
Our findings do not support an association between testosterone concentrations and the risk of developing depression in older men. These results suggest that testosterone is not an important factor in the pathogenesis of depression in this population. There may still be individual variability in response to testosterone changes and its potential impact on mood disorders.
