Pentagon rolls out annual testosterone screening for troops

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced a new annual screening program for "testosterone deficiency" among troops aged 30 and older, with voluntary testing available for those under 30. This initiative aims to ensure service members operate at their peak performance, though the Pentagon has not specified the exact conditions being targeted. The move aligns with broader efforts from the Trump administration to increase access to testosterone replacement therapies, despite ongoing debates among experts regarding diagnosis and treatment protocols for age-related testosterone decline.
