    Men with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) exhibit low bone mineral density (BMD), particularly in the lumbar spine and femoral neck.

  • 2

    Hormonal treatment improves BMD in men with HH, but normalization of BMD may not occur, especially in those with congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

  • 3

    Younger age at treatment initiation, partial HH, and higher serum testosterone and estradiol levels correlate with better BMD outcomes.

  • 4

    The prevalence of fractures is high among men with HH, although fracture data is limited in existing studies.

  • 5

    Current evidence from small observational studies indicates insufficient data on the long-term effects of reproductive hormone therapy on BMD in men with HH.
