How many middle-aged men need HRT?

Either an epidemic of lethargy is sweeping men around the world, or the message from the pharmaceutical industry is getting through. Since 2001, prescriptions in the US have more than tripled, to an estimated 3% of men over 40 - 1.7 million men. In the UK, prescriptions roughly doubled over the same period, and the global market for the drugs has increased 12-fold. In 2011, it was valued at $1.8bn (£1bn).
