Associations of Serum Testosterone and Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin With Incident Cardiovascular Events in Middle-Aged to Older Men
CONCLUSION: Men with lower total testosterone concentrations were not at increased risk for MI, stroke, HF, or MACE. Calculated free testosterone may be associated with risk for MACE. Men with lower SHBG concentrations have higher risk for MI but lower risk for IS and HF, with causality to be determined.PRIMARY FUNDING SOURCE: Western Australian Health Translation Network, Medical Research Future Fund, and Lawley Pharmaceuticals.PMID:34958606 | DOI:10.7326/M21-0551
