Cross-sectional study identifies links between hypogonadism, insulin resistance, and aging in Malaysian men with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Hypogonadism is prevalent in Malaysian men with type 2 diabetes, with 55.6% classified as hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.
Hypo-H is strongly linked to insulin resistance and visceral adiposity, while hyper-H associates with aging.
Significant differences were found in weight, BMI, and waist circumference between hypo-H and eugonadal males.
Treatments improving insulin resistance may effectively manage hypogonadism in this population, especially older, obese males.

Wh et al. (2025) studied this question.
