deciliter but this number falls an average 44 nanograms by age 65. (3) An even more alarming aspect to a man's testosterone health is not only physical, but mental and emotional as there have been studies indicating that testosterone levels and suicide may have a correlation. (4) If levels are too low 500 nanograms per deciliter or less by different researchers, then the following traits have been observed...
The following gives an indication of what levels should be in a man's 50s for an ideal range of 400-600 nanograms per deciliter. Most doctors classify levels below 300 nanograms per deciliter to be an indicator of low testosterone. The average level of total testosterone for men in their early 50s should be 606 nanograms per

aged and older men. This article (4) correlates a variety of study results via biological data and observational information to illustrate that both high and low testosterone levels may play a role in suicidal behavior in men of any age and that having as balanced a level of testosterone will affect all areas of a man's health and should be treated as soon as possible in a way that best suits the individual. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Ben Loyd has worked in computer systems technology 34 years, studied alternative electrical sciences 14 years, men’s health needs over 40 for 5 years.

Studies shown tendencies, depending on age, and have revealed that high levels of testosterone in adolescents and young adults but low levels in the elderly may be central to suicide risk. have To try to explain how the higher testosterone levels in young male suicide attempts comes into play, researcher Leo Sher of Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has previously proposed that high and low testosterone levels may be associated with suicidal behavior in young and older men, respectively, through different pathomechanisms (5). In young men attempting suicide, one possible explanation could be
However,
the

relationship between testosterone levels and suicide may not be true for all ages of people. Many studies suggest that testosterone plays a role in the regulation of mood and behavior. Most but not all investigations of the relationship between testosterone and suicidal tendencies found relations between testosterone and suicidal behavior. The balance of evidence is in favor of the view that testosterone is involved in the pathophysiology of suicide potential. Both high and low testosterone levels can be observed in adolescent, young, middle-
