Clinical and disease characteristics of men with MDD stratified by serum testosterone levels. Men were placed into the following tertiles based on serum concentration of testosterone: low tertile, <237.64 ng/dl; middle tertile, >237.64 to 346.20 ng/dl; or high tertile, >346.20 ng/dl. Associations were then assessed for (A) current smoking status, (B) alcohol use, (C) body mass index, (D) duration of depression, (E) severity of depression, (F) age, age at onset and serum levels of biomarkers for depression. Data are mean ± standard deviation. *P<0.01 vs the low tertile (<237.64 ng/dl).
