Cross-Sectional Association of Metabolic Syndrome and Its Components with Serum Testosterone Levels in a Korean-Screened Population

We evaluated the associations of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components with testosterone levels in the Korean population. This cross-sectional study was performed among 6,967 adult (age≥20 years) men who attended health screening during 2006 to 2015. MetS was defined using the National Choles...

Description
Summary:We evaluated the associations of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components with testosterone levels in the Korean population. This cross-sectional study was performed among 6,967 adult (age≥20 years) men who attended health screening during 2006 to 2015. MetS was defined using the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III criteria. Associations were evaluated using unconditional logistic regression. The estimated age-adjusted prevalence of MetS in adult and middle-aged (≥40 years) Korean men was 27.5% and 30.6%, respectively. Quartile analysis showed that high serum testosterone levels were significantly associated with a low risk of MetS (highest . lowest quartile, odds ratio=0.528; p
