We assessed the effect of self-reported sleep patterns on serum testosterone while controlling for co-morbidities, and baseline demographics. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using data collected from the 2011-2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), we extracted serum total testosterone level, sleep duration, demographic, and co-morbidities for men aged 16 years and older.

CONCLUSIONS: Among men aged 16-80 in the United States, we found increasing age, impaired sleep and elevated BMI is associated with low testosterone. It is important, therefore, that evaluation and treatment of reduced serum testosterone should also include improving sleep duration in combination with weight management. [/QUOTE]
