[Expert consensus on testosterone supplementation to alleviate aging-related symptoms in men (2026 edition)].

The consensus was developed by the Male Health Management Branch of the Chinese Health Management Association using a multidisciplinary expert group.

• Experts came from endocrinology, andrology, traditional Chinese medicine, nutrition and other disciplines.
• The recommendations are based on the latest evidence-based medical evidence, according to the abstract.

The consensus produced 21 recommendations covering the key issues of testosterone supplementation for aging-related symptoms in men.

• Topics: ameliorating aging-related symptoms, appropriate candidates, risk assessment, medication strategies, and monitoring protocols.
• The abstract does not report the content, strength, or evidence grade of the individual recommendations.

The consensus states that testosterone levels gradually decline in men with advancing age.

• Aging is described as frequently accompanied by symptoms and physiological changes that impair men's quality of life.
• Alleviating these symptoms is framed as an important public-health goal.

The consensus states that accumulating recent evidence suggests exogenous testosterone supplementation may ameliorate selected aging-related symptoms and enhance men's health status.

• The wording is limited to 'selected' symptoms and 'may' ameliorate, indicating partial and not universal benefit.
• The abstract does not name the specific symptoms or give effect sizes.

The stated aim is to give clinicians guidance on the scientific and standardized application of testosterone supplementation to alleviate aging-related symptoms in men.

• The document is intended for clinical practice and covers patient selection, risk assessment, treatment strategy and monitoring.
