Don't get to excited about this article.  It is just a meta-analysis.  Second, they looked at BMI and BMI is a notoriously bad estimater of muscle mass versus fat content.  I am the perfect example, my BMI has me as obese, yet my measured fat % is 16%.   My read on this, is most of the individuals that are "overweight" are actually at a health weight with a higher muscle mass percentage not picked up with the BMI measurement.

Study of Korean men finds late onset of hypogonadism to be 16.8% in their study of 1,235 men older than 40.  This is a higher rate than other studies, but lower than others (38.7% in American men).  The test definition of low T was set at 3.2 ng/ml.  Abdominal obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and increasing age were associated with low T. Low T is clearly not a problem unique to America.  It definitely appears that a decreasing Testosterone level is a marker of poor health in men.  

Study looked at inflammatory markers in RA.  The authors point to high aromatase activity, low androgens, and elevated estrone in synovial fluid as an indicator of a link between aromatase activity and inflammation production through E1 production.  The authors also point to the 16 alpha metabolite pathway as pro-inflammatory as well.  One very interesting point made by the authors is that vitamin D down regulates aromatase activity.  In addition to NK-kappaB inhibition, this may be another mechanism by which vitamin D reduces inflammation.

Small study of 154 men post 1rst stroke finds a reduction in a second ischemic stroke with Testosterone therapy.  That equals a 7.1% risk of secondary stroke in the Testosterone treated group (diagnosed with low T) versus 16.6% in the untreated group.  Testosterone was started one week after the first stroke event.
