Testosterone helps build muscle in men and when testosterone levels decrease


Obesity
Obesity can cause a myriad of problems for men, including increased risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, among other conditions.  Another effect of obesity is a change in hormonal levels in the body.  Testosterone helps build muscle in men and when testosterone levels decrease, muscle mass decreases and fat deposits begin to accumulate.  Low testosterone levels in men can also lead to decreased sexual drive, low sperm count and problems with erections.  For more information, see Obesity Risks and Risk Factors.
