Afaiu, in the UK many (most?) males over 55 get prescribed TRT. Male mortality tracks quite closely with muscle wastage, so it makes a lot of sense.

nah, this isn't correct. The NHS very very rarely prescribes TRT, certainly not as a matter of course.

well perhaps all the old folk I know are the outliers - nearly all the pensioners I know have been prescribed a steroid once they get an illness

edit: perhaps that isn't strictly TRT though - ianad

Corticosteroids are definitely common with older people, and aren't anything like anabolic steroids or testosterone.
