Understanding Your Testosterone Level

Testosterone level is an important indicator of hormonal health. Low testosterone levels have been associated with cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, decreased libido, decreased energy, and depression.

A simple blood test is used to measure total testosterone level. Normal testosterone levels range from 300 ng/dL to 1050 ng/dL. Levels below 300 ng/dL are considered clinically low. EMG also provides more information on low testosterone and testosterone replacement therapy.

Important: The normal range is broad — one man can have a testosterone level nearly 3× higher than another and both be considered normal. A change from your personal baseline is just as important as the absolute number. A man with decreased testosterone may be symptomatic even if his new lower level still falls within the reference range.

Ultimately, the diagnosis of low testosterone and the decision to pursue treatment is considered on an individual basis — not simply based on numerical guidelines for generally accepted "normal" levels.

How Testosterone Changes with Age

Testosterone production peaks in the late teens and early twenties, then declines at approximately 1–2% per year after age 30. By age 70, many men have total testosterone levels 30–50% lower than they did at their peak.
