Non-RCTAnimal Study

Study Snapshot

Beeswax implants are an effective alternative for manipulating testosterone levels within the physiological range in field studies, providing a more consistent release and less need for recapture.

PopulationOlder adults (50-71 years)

Sample size24

MethodsObservational

OutcomesBody Mass Index projections

ResultsSocial networks mitigate obesity in older groups.
