Prevalence and Etiology of Hypogonadism in Young Men with Chronic Spinal Cord Injury: A Cross-Sectional Analysis from Two University-Based Rehabilitation Centers

Spinal cord injury (SCI) triggers an 'accelerated aging' process that may include development of hypogonadism, even among younger men with SCI; however, few studies have investigated the prevalence or etiology of hypogonadism in men with SCI. Young men with SCI are also at increased risk for developing metabolic dysfunction after injury, which may be exacerbated by concomitant testosterone (T) deficiency, thus identifying the prevalence and risk factors for T deficiency in men with SCI is important for their long-term health.
