Pentagonul introduce testarea obligatorie a testosteronului pentru militarii americani de peste 30 de ani

The Pentagon has introduced mandatory testosterone testing for U.S. military personnel aged 30 and older, aiming to improve health and operational readiness. Younger soldiers can request tests based on symptoms. The policy, promoted by Secretary Pete Hegseth, has raised concerns among experts regarding its scientific basis. Women in the military are not subject to routine testing, but doctors are advised to monitor specific symptoms. Critics warn that widespread testing may lead to unnecessary diagnoses and treatments, with little evidence supporting its effectiveness in enhancing combat readiness. The FDA is set to discuss testosterone's medical use in mid-September.
