Male age-related bone loss is caused at least in part from hypogonadism that occurs with advancing age. Recently, the study of sex steroids on bone physiology in men has highlighted the central role of estrogens on bone pathophysiology. This review focuses on the relative role of sex steroids on bone loss in aging men.
