Normal Testosterone Levels for Men in Their 60's

My last videos talked about my list of normal testosterone levels for men in their 20’s - 50’s. This time it’s the levels for men in their 60’s. These are MY numbers based on a gestalt of numbers from a lot of different sources.
As before, I will talk about the three main testosterone levels that we assess when evaluating you for Low-T, Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) and Estradiol (E2). My normal levels for a man in his 60’s are shown below. These numbers should include about 90% of that population are is expressed in American and International Units. Remember that your personal normal level will be in a narrower range than those you see below. One more thing is that many clinicians believe that there is no use in treating men in their 60’s and up. After all, we aren’t going to extend their lives. I disagree. If we can keep our older men’s muscle and bone strength, memories and drive, libido and erectile function, and sleep quality and healthy weight, then we have helped maintain a healthier, happier life even if we don’t extend it, and I believe that is our job as physicians. So, getting off my soapbox, my normal ranges for men in their 60’s are:

American:
Total Testosterone: 400-850 ng/dL
Free Testosterone: 3.7-16.2 ng/dL
Bioavailable Testosterone: 150-280 ng/dL

International :
Total Testosterone: 13.9-29.5 nmol/L
Free Testosterone: 0.13-0.56 nmol/L
Bioavailable Testosterone: 5.2-9.7 nmol/L

SHBG (both): 15-55 nmol/L
Estradiol: 15-50 pg/ml, but I like to keep my patients between 20 to 30.

My next testosterone video will be for men in their 70’s and older.
So, click the Schedule an Appointment button on my website at www.heliostelemedicine.com to see me if you live in TX, NY, FL, or MO and need help with weight loss or a men’s hormone issue. I can consult informally with y’all if you live elsewhere, but cannot be your physician, order labs, or prescribe medications where I am not licensed.
Thanks for your time and attention. Bye for now.
