| Annotation | The author reports on preliminary findings from the largest ever study of ageing in men, the European Male Ageing Study (EMAS), which is looking at some of the factors that affect men's health and wellbeing as they grow older, particularly with regard to hormonal changes. EMAS began in August 2003 and will follow the lives of 3,200 men in eight European countries for a minimum five-year period. One of its aims is to clarify whether there is a clinical condition specific to the ageing male similar to the female menopause, and whether there are health benefits for men in receiving testosterone replacement therapy.
