Abstract
Aim. To reveal the changes in the quality of life among young men with visceral obesity depending on androgen deficiency manifestation.
Materials and methods. Examination of 80 men with the mean age of 45.5 ± 7.7 years with abdominal type of obesity was carried out. The total blood serum testosterone level was determined in all patients and their life quality was assessed using SF-36 health survey.
Results. In the examined group, 72.3 % of patients had statistically significant (p = 0.03) testosterone deficiency, and their life quality indices were characterized by lower scores of social functioning (SF) and psychological component of health compared to the group of persons with normal testosterone level.
Conclusions. In most men with abdominal obesity, there was observed androgen deficiency that leads to significant limitation of social contacts, decrease in communication level, caused by impairment of physical and emotional status. Therefore, normal testosterone level is required to support good physical and mental health in men.
