Abstrakt: The testis, as one of the important reproductive organs in men, has two major functions of secreting androgens and producing sperm. Androgen and spermatogenesis are the key factors for the evaluation of the testicular function. The lack of androgen or the decline of spermatogenic function is both a symbolic manifestation and a "product" of testis aging. In order to gain a deeper insight into the relationship between testis aging and overall health, this article reviews the relevant literature based on the correlation of androgen deficiency with various systemic diseases and the belief in the impacts of testis aging on the health of the cardiovascular and nervous systems through different channels, the development and progression of metabolic diseases, orthopedic diseases, PCa, kidney disease, peptic ulcer and other diseases. All these suggest that adequate attention should be paid to the studies of male reproductive health and its impact on overall health, so as to provide some new ideas and evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment of relevant conditions.
