The average testosterone levels in men vary greatly depending on factors like age, overall health, and lifestyle habits. Testosterone production starts high in early adulthood, peaks around the late 20s to early 30s, and then slowly declines with age.
Here is an overview of typical testosterone ranges by age:
- Age 19-30: 400-1,000 ng/dL (nanograms per deciliter)
- Age 31-40: 350-870 ng/dL
- Age 41-50: 300-720 ng/dL
- Age 51-60: 250-600 ng/dL
- Age 60 : Less than 350 ng/dL
However, keep in mind that these ranges are merely averages and general guidelines.
Many factors unique to each man can raise or lower testosterone levels, including:
Lifestyle habits:
- Diet: Overeating, crash dieting, nutrient deficiencies, etc. can impact hormones
- Exercise: Strength training boosts testosterone, too little or too much exercise decreases it
- Sleep: Getting less than 5-6 hours per night frequently can lower testosterone
- Stress: Chronically high stress diminishes testosterone over time
Health conditions:
Medications: Long-term use of
opiates, steroids, antidepressants, and certain other drugs can hamper natural testosterone production.
