ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the putative association of age and insulin resistance with sex hormone-binding globulin levels in healthy men. Methods: In total, 136 healthy men without obesity, aged 18 years or older, were included. Total testosterone was measured by electrochemiluminescence, and sex hormone-binding globulin by chemiluminescence. Calculated free testosterone was obtained by Vermeulen’s equation.
