Table 3 –
Groups Categorized by Magnitude of Total Testosterone Level Variation
| Group 1 | Group 2 | Group 3 | P Value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Population, n (%) | 322 (63) | 120 (24) | 64 (13) | - |
| Age, median (IQR) | 65 (58, 70) | 62 (55,68) | 64 (58,69) | 0.23 |
| Morning TT, median (IQR) | 349 (286, 445) | 548 (444, 713) | 368 (294, 442) | 0.01 |
| Afternoon TT, median (IQR) | 347 (272, 439) | 374 (255, 449) | 566 (480, 648) | 0.01 |
Group 1: TT no significant difference between am and pm levels (−100 to + 100 ng/dL).
Group 2: decrease in TT level in pm (−100 ng/dL).
Group 3: increase in TT level in pm (+100 ng/dL).
TT = Total Testosterone; IQR = interquartile range.
