My brother wich lives in portugal showed me some lab tests from a lab over there and i really thought the lab ranges were aswome and made sense!!! they all had the normal range that al labs have but they also had AVERAGE levels for each age....aswome!!

For Total testosterone there ranges were like this

For all ages :250-1100ng/dl

and by age of 20-30:
<250- Severe hypogonandism
250-400ng/dl - Hypogonandism
400-600ng/dl - Lower then average(border line hypogonadal)
600-800ng/dl - average
800-1100ng/dl- Higher then average

doctors and experts here agree with this ranges???

I agree, tests have inferior presentation.
That includes Quest Diagnostics.

So far the best presentation I have seen at
Genova Diagnostics.
Just look at their
Essence(Women's Hormonal Health Assessment)
sample report:

http://www.gdx.net/home/images/repor...opausalHRT.pdf

or here:
GDX Women's Hormonal Health Assessment Sample Reports

there is three types conditiond that the compile for women.

View a full page sample report(40k) or download PDF files for:
premenopausal women (500K),
menopausal women (500K),
or women on HRT (552K).

So, it can be done, but Quest and other laboratories do not care.

Actually it is good idea to keep this report on mind when designing and revieving our blood tests.
The whole story is shown in very concise but educational way.
