Higher serum testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, but not oestradiol, are independently associated with favourable indices of lung function in community‐dwelling men

Abstract

Both T and DHT were independently associated with higher FEV1 and FVC in predominantly middle-aged community-dwelling men. Androgens may contribute to, or be biomarkers for, better lung function in men. Further research is needed to clarify whether androgens preserve lung function in ageing men.
