If you take otherwise healthy men who are about 40 years of age, 2-3 % of them will be having low testosterone. They may be attributing to other things like work stress, weight loss or gain, anxiety and all these things. But one really does not know as of now how common testosterone problem is, but according to new studies it says that it is quiet common. In individuals with certain conditions or risk factors they can be much more common. For example patients with diabetes, patients with HIV and who are taking treatment for the same and individuals who are obese the low testosterone state is quiet common. In extreme obese patients low testosterone is present in 30-40 % of patients. It is true that total testosterone as well as free testosterone is low in such patients. So in fact it is a quiet common condition.
