Correlation Between the Aging Males' Symptoms Scale and Sex Steroids, Gonadotropins, Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate, and Growth Hormone Levels in Ambulatory Men

The results of the present study suggest that PADAM‐related symptoms as evaluated by the AMS Scale are not significantly related to serum levels of TT, FT, E2, LH, FSH, DHEA‐S, or GH. Because many factors related to aging are thought to contribute to the occurrence of PADAM‐related symptoms, the AMS Scale may not be able to predict serum hormone levels.
