What the study asked: Men aged 80 and over are almost entirely absent from the trials that guide testosterone prescribing — both TRAVERSE and the T-Trials excluded or did not report separately on them, and both excluded men with a history of prostate cancer. This single-centre retrospective cohort followed 46 hypogonadal men aged 80 or older through 36 months of treatment.
What it found: Monitoring findings were reassuring. No patient reached a haematocrit of 54% or above, the threshold that usually forces treatment to change, and there was no biopsy-confirmed prostate cancer recurrence — notable because 39% of the cohort had a prostate cancer history. Blood pressure changed modestly overall (median +3 mmHg systolic), though six men rose by at least 20 mmHg, which is why blood pressure and haematocrit monitoring remain necessary rather than optional in this age group. All-cause mortality was 8.7% and 28.3% stopped treatment over the three years.
What it cannot show: The authors are explicit about the limits. There was no untreated comparison group, so the cardiovascular and thromboembolic events cannot be attributed to the treatment rather than to a medically complex population — 60.9% had hypertension and 30.4% coronary artery disease at baseline. The sample is small, the setting is a single centre, and the retrospective design means events treated elsewhere may have been missed. The paper calls for larger prospective studies with age-matched controls.

Where the Research Happens


တိုင်ပင်ဆွေးနွေးမှု ကြိုတင်မှာယူရန်
Dr. Soarawee’s clinical practice is at Bangkok Hospital Headquarters, and he visits Samitivej Sriracha twice monthly. International patients are welcome — consultations available in English and Thai.
Bangkok Hospital Telemedicine is available for patients who cannot attend in person, including international patients — arrange it in advance by email to the Urology department at bhquro@bdms.co.th. Samitivej Sriracha is in-person only. Questions about cost are answered by the hospital rather than by Dr. Soarawee, using the same contacts.
This page is a record of academic work and is provided for information only. It is not medical advice and does not create a doctor–patient relationship. Research findings describe groups of patients and do not tell you what is right for your own situation. Dr. Soarawee does not provide advice, diagnosis or prescriptions through personal messaging channels or social media, and does not operate any public social media account — any account offering private consultation in his name is fraudulent. In an emergency, attend the nearest emergency department or call 1669 in Thailand.
