TLDR
Circulating sex hormones in men are strongly associated with age and body mass index, and to a lesser extent with smoking status and alcohol consumption.
Abstract
Introduction: Sex hormones have been implicated in the etiology of a number of diseases. To better understand disease etiology and the mechanisms of disease-risk factor associations, this analysis ...

The accelerated aging phenotype: The role of race and social determinants of health on aging

TL;DR: The early appearance and increased severity of age-associated disease among African American and low socioeconomic status (SES) individuals suggests that the factors contributing to the emergence of health disparities may also induce a phenotype of "premature aging" or "accelerated aging", which may proceed on a different trajectory than the overall population as discussed by the authors .

Interaction between diet- and exercise-lifestyle and phthalates exposure on sex hormone levels.

TL;DR: High urinary mono-(2-ethyl-5-oxyhexyl) phthalate (MEOHP) levels and no exercise had an additive interaction on abnormal serum progesterone (PROG) levels in winter as well as on abnormally high serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) or luteinizing hormone (LH) Levels in summer.

Androgens and prostate cancer risk: a prospective study

TL;DR: A nested case-control study of 392 cases and 392 matched controls found no significant associations between androgen levels and risk of prostate cancer in this population-based, non-screened cohort.

Sleep restriction and testosterone concentrations in young healthy males: randomized controlled studies of acute and chronic short sleep

TL;DR: Sleep restriction does not adversely affect plasma testosterone levels in healthy young men and confirmatory studies should be done to ascertain the influence of sleep duration and quality on testosterone concentrations in men throughout life.

Effects of Dietary or Supplementary Micronutrients on Sex Hormones and IGF-1 in Middle and Older Age: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

TL;DR: A systematic review of RCTs investigating effects of increasing dietary or supplemental micronutrient intake on sex hormones and IGF-1 in individuals aged 45 years or older found all trials had significant methodological limitations making effects of micronsutrient supplementation onsex hormones unclear.

Helsinki Heart Study: primary-prevention trial with gemfibrozil in middle-aged men with dyslipidemia. Safety of treatment, changes in risk factors, and incidence of coronary heart disease

TL;DR: Results are in accord with two previous trials with different pharmacologic agents and indicate that modification of lipoprotein levels with gemfibrozil reduces the incidence of coronary heart disease in men with dyslipidemia.

Age Trends in the Level of Serum Testosterone and Other Hormones in Middle-Aged Men: Longitudinal Results from the Massachusetts Male Aging Study

TL;DR: The paradoxical finding that longitudinal age trends were steeper than cross-sectional trends suggests that incident poor health may accelerate the age-related decline in androgen levels.

Transport of Steroid Hormones: Binding of 21 Endogenous Steroids to Both Testosterone-Binding Globulin and Corticosteroid-Binding Globulin in Human Plasma

TL;DR: A model of steroid transport in human plasma is described, finding that normal men, normal women during both the follicular and luteal phases of the ovarian cycle, and women during the third trimester of a normal pregnancy are candidates for steroid transport.

Calculation of free and bound fractions of testosterone and estradiol-17 beta to human plasma proteins at body temperature.

TL;DR: A mathematical model for the calculation of free and protein bound concentrations of testosterone and estradiol in plasma is presented and it was concluded that the androgen metabolites could be omitted from the calculations without affecting the calculated concentrations.
