Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the levels of testosterone in the blood serum depending on the body mass index (BMI) in young men in Yakutia. It was found that in overweight individuals, testosterone levels were significantly lower, compared with those who had underweight or normal weight. A comparative analysis of testosterone levels according to global data confirmed the inverse correlation of testosterone levels with BMI. The heterogeneity of the studies was within the average heterogeneity, which may indicate a negative correlation of testosterone levels with BMI, regardless of race and ethnicity.
Supporting agencies: The work was done within Yakutsk scientific center for complex medical problems "Study of the genetic structure and burden of hereditary pathology of populations of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)", the base part of a state assignment of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation (FSRG-2020-0016).
