Description Purpose: Although patients with late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) often experience lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS),

Factors associated with the IPSS were assessed in terms of age, scores of several questionnaires including the AMS, endocrinological variables, and serum concentration of PSA. Among these same factors, those associated with the QOL index were
also evaluated. Finally, the same analyses were repeated in 187 patients with low serum testosterone concentration (
