Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Decreased luteinizing hormone (LH) levels can be associated with conditions that affect overall health and stress levels, such as anorexia nervosa, malnutrition, and severe stress. These conditions can disrupt the normal functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, leading to reduced secretion of LH.
