  + stars: | 2024-01-23 | by ( Dr. Jamin Brahmbhatt | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
CNN —Just like women, men undergo significant hormonal changes as they age, especially in their testosterone levels. About 2 in 10 men over the age of 60 suffer from low testosterone levels, according to the American Urological Association. Only about 5% of men with low testosterone receive treatment, according to a 2018 study by the New England Research Institutes. Topical gels and creams are applied to the skin, ensuring steady hormone levels but require caution to prevent skin-to-skin transfer. A 2015 review found that overweight men are more likely to suffer from low testosterone, and losing weight can increase testosterone levels.

Essentially, that’s like 16 Boeing 747s crashing.”Black men had a 70% higher incidence of prostate cancer than white men. Declines in prostate cancer screeningIn 1994, the Food and Drug Administration approved the use of measurements of the prostate specific antigen (PSA) to be used as part of a screening test for prostate cancer.

The study was not meant to evaluate companies prescribing testosterone for gender affirming hormone therapy, which is a different process than testosterone replacement therapy.
