Role of genetics in the age-related testosterone decline in men: a UK Biobank study
Non-genetic factors are strongly associated with age-related BAT decline, whereas genetic predisposition may have a limited role. However, this does not rule out a potential genetic contribution. Our findings offer insight into the relationship between comorbidities and hormonal changes, supporting further research into their roles in T decline and related health risks in aging men.
