Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 9ZtR0xRV. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. To examine the relationship of total and free testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) with central obesity in men, we studied 1548 men aged 25-84 years that took part in the 1994-1995 survey of the Tromso study. Total testosterone and SHBG were measured by immuno-assay and the free testosterone fraction was calculated. These measurements were analyzed in relation to anthropometric data and lifestyle factors. The age-adjusted correlation between waist circumference (WC) and total testosterone was - 0.34 (p102 cm had significantly lower levels of total testosterone and SHBG compared to men with an optimal WC, defined as |
