not a diagnosis.

ADAM is a sensitive but non-specific screen. A positive screen does not mean you have low testosterone, and Lumara never recommends testing or treatment — discuss results with a licensed provider.

Lumara is a tracking tool and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The ADAM questionnaire is a published screening tool — a result here is a screen, never a diagnosis, and Lumara never recommends testing, treatment, or a dose. Always discuss your results with a licensed provider.

How the ADAM screening questionnaire works

ADAM stands for Androgen Deficiency in the Aging Male. It is a short symptom screen — designed to be sensitive, so it flags people who may benefit from testing, not to confirm anything on its own.

  1. Answer all ten questions yes or no, based on how you have been feeling recently.
  2. Answer honestly — the screen is about symptoms, not lab values.
  3. Read your screen result and the exact reason it was positive or negative.
  4. Take it to a provider if positive — a screen is a prompt to test, never a diagnosis.

How the ADAM screen is scored

ADAM uses a simple, published rule based on which questions you answer yes to:

A positive ADAM screen means “worth discussing and possibly testing,” not “you have low testosterone.” Only a provider, using labs and a full picture, can diagnose that.

Frequently asked questions

What is the ADAM questionnaire?

ADAM (Androgen Deficiency in the Aging Male) is a published 10-item yes/no questionnaire that screens for symptoms associated with low testosterone. It is widely used as a quick, sensitive symptom screen — a starting point for a conversation with a provider, not a diagnostic test.

Does a positive ADAM screen mean I have low testosterone?

No. The screen is sensitive but not specific, so many people who screen positive have normal testosterone. A positive result simply suggests it may be worth discussing and testing with a provider. Diagnosis requires blood tests and clinical judgement.

How is the ADAM screen scored?

It is positive if you answer yes to question 1 (libido) or question 7 (energy), or yes to any three of the other questions; otherwise it is negative. The tool shows exactly which rule your answers met.

Is this screening tool medical advice or a diagnosis?

No. It is an educational screening tool only. It reports a screen result and how it was scored; it never diagnoses low testosterone or recommends treatment or testing. Always discuss results with a licensed provider.
