Evaluating Calculated Free Testosterone as a Predictor of Morbidity and Mortality Independent of Testosterone for Cross-sectional and 5-Year Longitudinal Health Outcomes in Older Men: The Concord Health and Ageing in Men Project
Benjumin Hsu,Robert G. Cumming,Fiona M. Blyth,Vasi Naganathan,Louise M. Waite,David G. Le Couteur,Markus J. Seibel,David J. Handelsman +7 more
TL;DR: For morbidity or mortality prediction in older men, discordance between cFT and T is unusual and isolated discordance is rare, so that cFT provides minimal independent prognostic information over serum T.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vasant Hirani,Fiona M. Blyth,Vasi Naganathan,Robert G. Cumming,David G. Le Couteur,David J. Handelsman,Louise M. Waite,Markus J. Seibel +7 more
TL;DR: Low serum 1,25D concentrations are associated with chronic pain in older men, raising the question whether vitamin D metabolites may influence pain states, mediated through different biological mechanisms and pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
