Why it matters

Obesity-related functional hypogonadism is common and reversible, yet comparative efficacy and safety of available treatments have been unclear. This analysis provides outcome-specific effect estimates to guide individualized therapy, highlighting that combining TRT with lifestyle intervention may offer the greatest hormonal and sexual benefits, while glycemic control remains unimproved by any strategy.
