Endogenous testosterone and mortality risk
In men, obesity and metabolic complications are associated with lower serum testosterone (T) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and an increased risk of, and mortality from, multiple chronic diseases in addition to cardiovascular disease (CVD). The causal interrelationships between these factors remain a matter of debate. In men with untreated congenital and lifelong forms of hypogonadotropic hypogo...
متن کاملEndogenous estrogen exposure and cardiovascular mortality risk in postmenopausal women.
In this study, the authors investigated whether combined information on reproductive factors has additive value to the single reproductive factor age at menopause for assessing endogenous estrogen exposure and cardiovascular mortality risk in postmenopausal women. They conducted a population-based cohort study that included 9,450 postmenopausal women from Nijmegen, the Netherlands, who were age...
متن کاملLow serum testosterone increases mortality risk among male dialysis patients.
Men treated with hemodialysis (HD) have a very poor prognosis and an elevated risk of premature cardiovascular disease (CVD). In the general population, associations between low testosterone concentrations and cardiovascular risk have been suggested. We performed a prospective observational study involving a well characterized cohort of 126 men treated with HD to examine the relationship betwee...
متن کاملEndogenous testosterone and mortality in male hemodialysis patients: is it the result of aging?
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Low serum testosterone levels in hemodialysis (HD) patients have recently been associated with cardiovascular risk factors and increased mortality. To confirm this observation, we investigated the predictive role of serum total testosterone levels on mortality in a large group of male HD patients from Turkey. DESIGN, SETTINGS, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS A total of ...
متن کاملTestosterone deficiency and cardiovascular mortality
New concerns have been raised regarding cardiovascular (CV) risks with testosterone (T) therapy (TTh). These concerns are based primarily on two widely reported retrospective studies. However, methodological flaws and data errors invalidate both studies as credible evidence of risk. One showed reduced adverse events by half in T-treated men but reversed this result using an unproven statistical...
