The Claim
In healthy adult males, serum adiponectin concentrations are significantly higher in older individuals and in those with obesity, with the highest concentrations observed in older obese men, indicating that aging and obesity are associated with elevated adiponectin levels.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In healthy adult men, older age and obesity are both linked to higher levels of adiponectin in the blood, and the highest levels occur in men who are both older and obese.
See the scientific wording
In healthy adult males, serum adiponectin levels are significantly higher in older individuals and in those with obesity, with the highest levels observed in older obese men, indicating that both aging and obesity are associated with elevated adiponectin concentrations.
As men age or gain weight, their testosterone levels drop, which removes a natural brake on fat cells producing adiponectin, causing more of this hormone to enter the bloodstream.
What the research says
1 studyIn healthy men, older and heavier men tend to have higher levels of a hormone called adiponectin, and the highest levels are found in men who are both older and obese. The study measured this directly and found it to be true.
