Low Testosterone Linked To Poor Health in Aging Men Testosterone and the biologically active free testosterone decrease with age in men. These changes are linked to decreases in muscle and bone mass, poor sexual performance, psychological depression, declining physical performance and poor mental function. Low testosterone levels in aging men increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes and prostate cancer. A review of literature by Dr. BB Yeap, from the School of Medicine and Pharmacology at the University of Western Australia, concluded that it is difficult to separate the effects of declining testosterone from the normal effects of aging. Low testosterone could be a consequence of declining metabolic health commonly seen in aging men. We need long-term, well-controlled studies to separate the effects of aging from declining testosterone levels and their effects on physical well-being and performance.
