Free Androgen Index (FAI) is a ratio used to determine abnormal androgen status in humans. The ratio is the total testosterone level divided by the sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) level, and then multiplying by a constant, usually 100. The concentrations of testosterone and SHBG are normally measured in nanomols per liter. FAI has no unit.

In particular, research has questioned the validity of commonly administered assays of free testosterone by radioimmunoassay. [16] The free androgen index, essentially a calculation based on total testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin levels, has been found to be the worst predictor of free testosterone levels and should not be used.

“Women in their mid-40s and 50s have half the testosterone that we had in our 20s.” The balance between the two hormones shifts, too. “Before menopause, the main hormone is estrogen, and ...
The number one thing you want to get tested if you’re symptomatic is your total testosterone levels, which includes all forms of testosterone in your body: unbound free T, SHBG-bound T, and ...

During this transition, the body stops releasing estrogen at a faster rate than it stops releasing androgens. In some cases, the difference between the lower estrogen levels and higher androgen levels can produce hyperandrogenism. A decrease in sex hormone levels while the free androgen index increases can also contribute to this process. [51]
