Our data confirm that a low FT level is a significant predictor of a risk for loss of appendicular muscle

These results suggest that a threshold level of FT exists for muscle loss, rather than a dose-response relationship
-
In the previous cross-sectional and longitudinal studies of French and American men, no dose-response relationships were reported between T and muscle mass
-
A minimal serum level of FT may be needed to preserve muscle mass in men, regardless of race/ethnicity.
-
Our result is in line with previous studies that reported a relationship between low FT and low muscle mass in men

Although a progressive decrease in TT levels with ageing is observed in middle-aged and elderly American men16, 17, the TT levels do not change during ageing in Japanese men
