Textbook of Men’s Health: A Comprehensive Guide to Aging Men’s Health

By Bruno Lunenfeld, Louis J. G. Gooren, Alvaro Morales, John Morley

The first edition of “Textbook of Men’s Health” significantly contributed to establishing and defining the scope of the emerging subspecialty of aging men’s health. The revised and updated second edition, with new sections on basic sciences and sexual dysfunction, has a small but significant change of approach, as reflected in the new title.

The Central Mission

The central mission of the new edition is to differentiate normal physiologic aging in men from pathologic processes, avoiding any material that is routinely available in the standard textbooks of medicine and geriatrics to maintain a uniquely male perspective. This means a focus on the age-related decline in sex steroids and other hormones and the pathological and clinical consequences. Wherever possible, the book records consensus on diagnostic criteria, emphasizes evidence-based medicine, and highlights translational science.
