Testosterone and cardiometabolic risk in the general population - the impact of measurement method on risk associations: a comparative study between immunoassay and mass spectrometry

Low total testosterone (TT) serum concentrations in men have been associated with various cardiometabolic risk factors. But given error-prone immunoassays used for TT assessment, upcoming mass spectrometry methods question the validity of these risk associations. Thus, we performed the first compara...
