What's the incidence of low testosterone in men? Have a large study with about 10,000 people, then the Chicago area, about 10,000 men 18 to 85 found that 36% of the men had low testosterone. And of that the ones that had low testosterone, the average level was very, very low 194 only 17% were treated with testosterone replacement therapy of those with known low testosterone.
