Pak J Med Health Sci Jan ;12(4):1684-6.

Aim: To determine the relationship of testosterone with hemoglobin level in normal men population. Methods: This cross-sectional/observational study was conducted at Ch. Rehmat Ali Memorial Trust Hospital Lahore from 1st January 2018 to 30th June 2018. One hundred and fifty men having good physiological condition (non smoker. no any drug user) were included. Participant’s ages were ranging from 25 years to 60 years. After taking informed consent from all the participants, demographical detail were examined, including age, soc io- economic status, literacy level, income status etc. Samples of serum total testosterone and blood were taken from all the participants at morning after examining detailed medical history and physical condition. Results: There were 78(52%) men were ages between 25 to 40 years, 65(43.33%) men had an age 40 to 55 years and 7(4.67%) men were ages > 55 years. 60% participants had urban residency. 88(58.67%) were literate, 105( 70%) participants had an income greater than 30000 PKR. The mean serum total testosterone (STT) was noted as 14.85 +/-7.25nmol/L. 23(15.33%) males had low serum total testosterone. 8(5.33%) participants had resulted anemia. Hb level and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration was significantly associated with total testosterone. Conclusions: Prevalence of low serum testosterone was resulted in male population having good physiological condition and mostly males were ages between 25 to 40 years. The relationship of testosterone with hemoglobin resulted that physiological changes in serum testosterone can effect and change the Hb status in males having ages 25 to 40 years.
