Background: Total 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and total 1.25 dihydroxyvitamin D (1.25(OH)2D) are associated with all-cause mortality. The free hormone hypothesis postulates that only the free vitamin D fraction can exert its biological function. Recently some studies suggested that free 25(OH)D levels might be a better predictor for clinical outcomes, including mortality.Objective: To study the association between total and free 25(OH)D and ...

Background: The association between low testosterone (T) and higher mortality in men remains controversial. Most studies focus only on the association between total T (TT) and mortality. While TT declines with age, free T (FT) shows a greater fall, due to the rise in SHBG. Moreover, also sexual dysfunction, often co-existing with low T, has been associated with mortality in ageing men.Objective: To study the interrelationships between ...
