Free Testosterone is an Independent Predictor of BMD and Prevalent Fractures in Elderly Men: MrOS Sweden

The role of androgens for bone health in elderly men is unclear. We show that free testosterone within the normal range is a predictor of BMD at predominantly cortical bone sites and of previous osteoporosis‐related fractures in elderly Swedish men.
