Low serum testosterone has been associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and atherosclerosis. Individuals with these comorbidities are at increased risk of premature death and other adverse health effects.

The authors support comprehensive evaluation for these comorbid conditions in men found to have low serum testosterone.
