From April 1985 to July 1987, 1,408 healthy white men aged 20-60 years in Paris, France, recruited on an occupational basis, underwent a physical examination and measurements of plasma sex hormones in a cross-sectional study. Both total testosterone and estradiol showed a significant stepwise decrease with age (p less than 0.001) starting in the early adult years, while estrone did not vary. These relations of testosterone and estradiol with age remained significant after adjustment for body mass index, subscapular skinfold, and tobacco and alcohol consumptions, and they were not modified by exclusion of the men who reported chronic disease. Both the mechanism for the early decrease in testosterone and its clinical significance merit further investigation.
