Men with the greatest improvement in quality of life after initiating hormone therapy were those with, at baseline, testosterone deficiency symptoms (identified by QLQ-PR25 treatment-related symptoms score) or no/low sexual activity. Cohesion within the couple was not confirmed as an influence on the evolution of quality of life.
