Analysis of the relationship between the blood concentration of several metals, macro- and micronutrients and endocrine disorders associated with mal... - PubMed - NCBI
we found positive correlations between the concentrations of TT-Mg, TT-Fe, TT-Mo, FT-Fe,
So iron has a positive correlation with total testosterone and free testosterone according to this study.
Probably from irons role in boosting thyroid hormones:
In vitro hepatic thyroid hormone deiodination in iron-deficient rats: effect of dietary fat. - PubMed - NCBI
Iron deficiency decreased plasma concentrations of T3 and T4 and increased in vitro hepatic rT3 deiodination, suggesting that the ID animals tend to metabolize thyroid hormones via deactivating pathways. The alterations in thyroid hormone metabolism associated with iron deficiency are reversible with iron repletion.
Increased T3 would also mean a lot more DHT
Thyroid - hormone effects on steroid - hormone metabolism.
Men with high levels of T3 caused by hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid gland) can have up to 10x more DHT in their blood than men with more sluggish thyroid glands.
On top of all this anemia is linked to an 40% increase risk of alhzeimers says a huge 11 year long study:
Can Anemia Lead to Alzheimer's?
And lower dopamine:
