Are We Comparing Old DHT Numbers to New Ones Incorrectly?

Assay methods changed, numbers aren’t directly comparable.

Reference ranges shifted, context often gets ignored.

Old labs used different calibration standards entirely.

Sensitivity improvements altered what “normal” even means.

Population health changes skew modern reference ranges.

Free versus total DHT confusion adds misinterpretation.

Comparing eras without methodology equals bad conclusions.

Lifestyle differences affect baseline hormones across generations.

Numbers alone mislead without clinical context.
