Purpose The main aim of this study is to explore the association between skeletal muscle mass and muscle function by three different measures of bioactive testosterone, as well as dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate among men and women aged 50 years and older in Taiwan to facilitate further investigations of sarcopenia and androgen profile. Methods Data of 532 participants (mean age: 64.6±9.5 years, male 53.0%) recruited from I-Lan Longitudinal Aging Study was retrieved for analysis. Appendicular muscle mass, grip strength and walking speed were stratified into quartiles in both genders to explore their associations with different hormones measures. Results Among three different bioactive testosterone measures, free androgen index had significant positive association with muscle mass (p both
