Cardiovascular Outcomes and All-cause Mortality Following Measurement of Endogenous Testosterone Levels

We examined whether low total testosterone levels are associated with stroke (ischemic and hemorrhagic), myocardial infarction (MI), venous thromboembolism (VTE), and all-cause mortality among adult men. We conducted a cohort study in the Central Denmark Region (20002015). We included all men with a first-ever laboratory testosterone result and computed the 5-year risks of cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause mortality.
