High Testosterone Linked With High Cardiovascular Risk

"In adjusted models, women in the top quartile of total testosterone had a three-fold greater odds of developing metabolic syndrome (odds ratio 3.15) compared to those in the bottom quartile. These women were also three times as likely to have coronary heart disease (OR 2.95) than those in the second quartile of total testosterone." This summarizes why we've always recommended caution with this hormone. (free signup required to read)
