Overview

Gianni Forti is affiliated with the University of Florence in Italy and has contributed to various research areas primarily within medicine and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. The focus of their work includes endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism, psychiatry and mental health, molecular biology, pathology and forensic medicine, and clinical psychology. Their research spans hormonal and reproductive studies, sexual function and dysfunction, sexual differentiation and disorders, Vitamin D research, sexuality, behavior and technology, pharmacology and obesity treatment, as well as muscle metabolism and nutrition.

Forti's recent scholarly articles reflect a concentration on male reproductive health and hormonal influences on aging and mortality. Important publications include:

  • European Academy of Andrology (EAA) guidelines on investigation, treatment and monitoring of functional hypogonadism in males, 2020, published in Andrology
  • Erectile dysfunction predicts mortality in middle-aged and older men independent of their sex steroid status, 2022, published in Age and Ageing
  • Aging Men With Insufficient Vitamin D Have a Higher Mortality Risk: No Added Value of its Free Fractions or Active Form, 2021, published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism
  • Reproductive hormone levels, androgen receptor CAG repeat length and their longitudinal relationships with decline in cognitive subdomains in men: The European Male Ageing Study., 2022, published in Physiology & Behavior
  • PS-8-6 Predictors of Decline in Sexual Desire or Development of Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder: Longitudinal Results From the European Male Ageing Study, 2020, published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine

Frequent co-authors in Forti's publications include Ilpo Huhtaniemi, Dirk Vanderschueren, Frederick C. W. Wu, Giulia Rastrelli, and Felipe F. Casanueva, reflecting collaborative efforts within the field of endocrinology and male reproductive health.

Their publications often appear in journals dedicated to andrology and sexual medicine, including repeated contributions to Andrology and The Journal of Sexual Medicine, alongside appearances in Age and Ageing, The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, and Physiology & Behavior.

Forti's research involves investigations into hormone-related aging processes, sexual health disorders, and the broader implications of endocrine function on mortality and cognitive decline. This research addresses multiple aspects of male health, including the biochemical and molecular mechanisms underlying endocrine disorders and their clinical consequences.
