NỒNG ĐỘ TESTOSTERONE MÁU VÀ MỘT SỐ YẾU TỐ LIÊN QUAN Ở NAM GIỚI KHÁM SỨC KHỎE TẠI BỆNH VIỆN ĐẠI HỌC Y HÀ NỘI

Abstract

Testosterone is a male sex hormone that plays an important role in maintaining health and sexual health in men. There are many factors affecting blood testosterone levels that have been mentioned by studies, but there are a handful of different studies in Viet Nam. Therefore, we conducted a study: "Serum testosterone concentrations and related factors of men health examination at the Hanoi Medical University hospital". There were 658 men, ages 20 to 60 participating in this study. The study results showed that: the average age of the study group was 31.15 ± 7.43 years old. The average value of blood testosterone in the age group 30 - 39 had a significant decrease so we recommend that men in this group have a reproductive health examination at least once a year. Overweight, obesity, and testicular volume was closely correlated with serum testosterone concentration. A negative correlation was found between BMI and testosterone and triglyceride and testosterone and a positive correlation between testicle volume and testosterone. In multiple linear regression, serum testosterone concentrations were associated with BMI, triglyceride and testicular volume with the formula: Testosterone blood (nmol/L) = 28.738 - 0.678 x BMI - 0.855 x Triglycerid + 0.255 x mean testicular volume (cm3). Overweight, obesity, triglyceride and testicular volume affect serum testosterone concentrations in men. Therefore, counseling patients to lose weight, reduce triglyceride is essential can be useful to quickly find sexual disorders in men during the physical examination.
