    The present study aimed to identify the relationship between andropause manifestations and anxiety symptoms in men over 40 years of age who attend El Ermitaño market, located in the district of Independencia, Lima – Peru, during the 2024–2025 period. Methodology: The research was basic in type, with a non-experimental design, quantitative approach, correlational scope, and cross-sectional cut. The sample consisted of 385 men selected through systematic random sampling. A questionnaire was used to assess the physical, emotional, sexual, and behavioral dimensions of andropause, along with the physical symptoms of anxiety. Results: A strong positive correlation was found between andropause manifestations and anxiety symptoms, especially in the behavioral (Rho = 0.867) and physical (Rho = 0.781) dimensions. The most frequently reported physical symptoms were a decreased ability to engage in sports (56.1%) and joint and muscle pain (33.8%). Regarding sociodemographic data, men aged 60–69, divorced individuals, and those with comorbidities showed higher levels of severe andropause and anxiety. Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between the manifestations of andropause and anxiety symptoms, highlighting the need for comprehensive care addressing the physical, emotional, and mental health of older adult men.
