The prevalence of low sex steroid hormone concentrations in men in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III)

Background  Physiologic processes during ageing leading to multi‐morbidity and diseases that increase risk of premature death may be influenced by ageing‐associated changes in endogenous hormone production.
