dc.description.abstract© AE&M all rights reserved.Objective: The objective of this study was to correlate the values of abdominal circumference (AC) and body mass index (BMI) with the levels of total testosterone (TT), free testosterone (FT) and sexual hormone binding globulin (SHBG). We aimed to analyze the association between the anthropometric values and variations in the hormonal levels. Subjects and methods: A transversal prospective study was conducted. A total of 159 patients were included in the study. Results: BMI was inversely correlated with TT and SHBG (p = 0.02 and p = 0.006, respectively). AC was also inversely correlated withTT and SHBG (p = 0.006 and p < 0.0001, respectively). However, BMI did not correlate signicantly with these hormonal levels after adjusting for age. Conclusion: This finding led to the conclusion that AC had a stronger inverse correlation than BMI with TT and SHBG. Our data suggested that AC alone can be used as an anthropometric parameter to help simplify the identification of men with low serum TT levels.
