TL;DR: Symptoms of poor morning erection, low sexual desire, erectile dysfunction, inability to perform vigorous activity, depression, and fatigue were significantly related to the testosterone level, and an inverse relationship between an increasing number of sexual symptoms and a decreasing testosterone level was observed.

Patrick Haentjens,Jay Magaziner,Cathleen S. Colón-Emeric,Dirk Vanderschueren,Koen Milisen,Brigitte Velkeniers,Steven Boonen +6 more
TL;DR: Older adults have a 5- to 8-fold increased risk for all-cause mortality during the first 3 months after hip fracture, and excess annual mortality after hip fractures is higher in men than in women.

TL;DR: In this paper, a randomized controlled trial was conducted to assess the effect of vibration loading on postmenopausal women's hip bone density, and the results indicated that WBV training may be a feasible and effective way to modify well-recognized risk factors for falls and fractures in older women.
