  > _Hypogonadal_ men (n = 823) with total T ≤ 12.1 nmol/L (age: 60.6 ± 7.0 years) participated in an ongoing registry study. Among these men 474 (57.6%) were obese, 286 (34.8%) overweight and 63 (7.7%) had normal weight. Hypogonadism means the gonads don't produce enough testosterone naturally. So yeah, if you give testosterone to a bunch of old, fat, unhealthy [1] men with hormonal problems, it might help them lose weight and keep them alive longer. [1] No offense, just calling it like I see it

    Yes trt is the primary treatment for hypogonadism and the subject of these comments. If your over 40, sit in front of a computer all day for work and live in a city. i highly recommend getting your testosterone levels checked or better yet getting a full panel including vitamin d, hormones, etc.
