As I had mentioned, it may not be applicable to their situation. But there is no doubt in my mind that testosterone mediates longevity in some fashion.
The question is, at what level is that? And does it vary individually? Too much and you’re at risk for adverse cardiovascular events. Too little and your bones will snap like twigs and your muscles will waste away.
Actually, the symptoms described are more to do with low estrogen (well, estradiol). And in males, estrogen is made by the action of the aromatase enzyme on free testosterone So tl;dr maybe OP is just menopausal? :))))
