A small percentage of older men are hypogonadal for no apparent reason other than age, a condition called late-onset hypogonadism. This condition is accompanied by symptoms, especially sexual symptoms, most notably decreased libido. Testosterone treatment of men who have late-onset hypogonadism improves all aspects of sexual function and also mood, depressive symptoms, and self-reported walking ability. Testosterone treatment would not be expected to improve similar symptoms in men who are not unequivocally hypogonadal.
