Dihydrotestosterone

High levels of the other major male gonadotropin, DHT (dihydrotestosterone), is strongly associated with abdominal obesity. It does also slowly decline with age from a peak value around 45 pmol/L postpuberty to around 28 in octogenarians. The DHT/FT ratio is fairly constant between 0.15 to 0.18 in healthy adult men.(1)
