Table of T Levels By 10-Year Age Group (Appendix from David Z's TRT Primer)

This free testosterone levels look strange. Whats the ranges? I have free testo of 15.5 and im considered very low. Something is wrong either with the units or something else. Plus how can someone raise his SHBG?
 
Guys, I had a thread on another site and the outcome is most interesting - please take a look:

Here's lab manual pages for the tests with very different reference ranges of free testosterone.
Sorry, in Finnish, but you can see the abreviations and ranges easily. Those are BIG labs in Finland.

RIA, male 22-38: 31 – 94 pmol/l

Yhtyneet Medix Laboratoriot - Testosteroni, vapaa
LIA, male 16-50: 200 - 580 pmol/l

HUSLAB - Testosteroni, vapaa, laskettu, seerumista
All adult men, 155-800 pmol/l

conversion factor: 1 ng/dl = 34.7 pmol/l.

As one can see, it is totally pointless to compare results from these labs in pmol/l.
The reference range is ONLY for that method in that lab.
