The type of hormonal changes typically experienced by middle aged men :

  • A.A dramatic drop in testosterone
  • B.Increase in appetite
  • C.Unable to father a child
  • D.Psychological adjustment to declining physical energy

Answer: D

The key's answer is psychological adjustment to declining physical energy.

Unlike women at menopause, men in middle age do not experience a sudden hormonal change. Testosterone declines slowly, about one percent a year from early adulthood, and most men can still father children. The 'male climacteric' is therefore described in textbooks mainly as a period of psychological adjustment to declining energy, strength and sexual vigour.

A dramatic drop in testosterone and inability to father a child are wrong for typical men, and increased appetite is not a characteristic hormonal change of middle age.
