Relationship of sex steroid hormones with body size and with body composition measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in US men

摘要

PurposeTo evaluate the association of body size – captured via whole body dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and physical measurement – with serum sex steroid hormones and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) we utilized cross-sectional data and serum samples from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES; 1999-2004).
