Testosterone effects a multitude of bodily functions in both men and women, and the way it affects the body varies with age.

You might already be aware that testosterone needs change as the body ages, but many men are unaware of just how much testosterone is in their body at each point of their lives.

It's important to know that testosterone levels change as men age, and it is important to note that there is no one-size-fits-all formula for what your results should be as you age. Additionally, testosterone levels rise and fall naturally within each man, and the variations in each person's body means that an exact number of what your testosterone level should be is impossible to accurately determine.

What Is the Average Testosterone Level in Young Men?

Young men, 25 or younger, typically have an average testosterone level of 692 ng/dL.

This is the point at which the body has almost the peak amount of testosterone. The average 95% range for this age group is 376-1008, which means that a large majority of young men will have a testosterone level within this range around this age group.

The age group of 25-29 is where testosterone is the highest, with an average level of 669 ng/dL.

However, the average 95% range for this age group is 275-1081 ng/dL, which means that a large majority of men in their late 20s will have a testosterone level within this range.

‍

What Is the Average Testosterone Level in Men in Their 30s?

Men in their early 30s, from 30 to 34, typically have an average level of testosterone of 521 ng/dL. As you can see, there is a dip from the last 5 years. However, this isn't always the case. Men in their early 30s have an average range of 233-1009 ng/dL, which means that a large majority of men in their early 30s will have a testosterone level within this range.

Between the ages of 35-39, men have an average testosterone level of 597 ng/dL. This is a significant jump from the last age group. As expected, this age range has a much lower average range, which is 219-975 ng/dL. This means that a large majority of men in their late 30s will have a testosterone level within this range.

‍

What Is the Average Testosterone Level in Men in Their 40s?

In the age group of 40-44, men have an average testosterone level of 597 ng/dL. This is the same average as the last five years of life, and the 95% range follows suit at 201-993 ng/dL. This means that a large majority of men in their 40s will have a testosterone level within this range.

In the age group of 45-49, men have an average testosterone level of 546 ng/dL. As you can see, testosterone levels are slowly decreasing with age. This is an understandable, natural, and expected process. As expected, the 95% range for this age group falls between 220-872 ng/dL.

‍

What Is the Average Testosterone Level in Men in Their 50s?

Men in their 50s, from 50 to 54, have an average level of testosterone of 554 ng/dL. The range for this group is 170-918 ng/dL. The majority of men in their early 50s will have a testosterone level within this range.

Men in their later 50s, from 55 to 59, have an average testosterone level of 552 ng/dL, with a range of 204-900 ng/dL. These levels are very similar to the previous age group, minus the range.

‍

What Is the Average Testosterone Level in Men in Their 60s, 70s, and 80s?

The average testosterone levels in a mans 60s ranges from 196–859 ng/dL, and in their 70s and 80s, the range is 156–819 ng/dL. These are both significantly lower than the average for men in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. As you would expect, the 5% and 95% ranges are much lower as well.

How Do I Understand Testosterone Levels?

Testosterone levels are definitely important to pay attention to. Although it is a natural, essential hormone, it is also an anabolic steroid. An anabolic steroid is a hormone that can enhance athletic performance and promote growth of the skeletal system. However, when testosterone levels are out of whack, this can cause some serious issues.

Low testosterone levels have been linked to a decrease in muscle mass, a decrease in energy, a decrease in strength, and a decrease in sex drive. This can lead to lethargy and a lack of motivation.

If you're concerned about your testosterone levels, it is best to get them checked. A doctor will be able to perform a physical examination, and a blood test to get an accurate measure. They will also be able to recommend a course of action, whether it be an increase in testosterone therapy, an increase in training, or a change in diet.

What is ng/dL?

The ng/dL is a unit of measurement used to measure serum testosterone in the body. It is a common unit that is used in lab tests to measure testosterone. It stands for nanograms per deciliter. Nanograms are a unit of measurement for weight, and a deciliter is a unit of measurement for volume.

The serum testosterone is the amount of testosterone that is in the blood. It is a good indicator of the actual amount of testosterone in the body. This is why it is used as a common unit to measure the amount of testosterone in the body.

Treatment Options for Low Testosterone

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above and are concerned about your testosterone levels, you should have a blood test to determine if you have low testosterone. If this blood test shows that you have low testosterone, there are a number of different treatment options available.

One of the most common treatments for low testosterone is to have testosterone replacement therapy. This is where a testosterone gel, patch, or injection is applied to the skin on a regular basis. This helps to maintain a healthy testosterone level for most men. However, this treatment is not for everyone.

Talk with your doctor about the pros and cons of testosterone replacement therapy and if it is right for you.

If you are experiencing symptoms of low testosterone, talk to your doctor and get a blood test to find out if it is the cause of your symptoms.
