JAMA ·
The Brief
- A JAMA Research Letter estimates testosterone values in active-duty men in the US Army.
- The estimates include men with concentrations below the lower limit of normal.
- The estimates are based on single-test measurements.
Why it matters
The study shows how single-test measurements can shape estimates of testosterone levels and the screening thresholds used to identify low values.
