| Popis: | The Androgen Deficiency in the Aging Male (ADAM) questionnaire is commonly used to screen type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients for androgen deficiency symptoms, but the association of low total (TT) and free testosterone (FT) levels with divergent responses to the ADAM questionnaire remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the predictive ability of TT and calculated FT (cFT) levels for accurately classifying ADAM status. We recruited 70 patients each with positive (group A) and negative (group B) responses to the ADAM questionnaire and 70 age-matched healthy controls (group C) (mean age, 50.5 years); serum levels of TT were estimated and cFT were estimated using Vermeulen equation. Hypogonadism was defined as the presence of symptoms (positive ADAM score) along with TT level |
