So study done, published in Evolution Medicine and Public Health in December 22 looked at where low testosterone had the biggest impact on features of longevity, which would be diseases, chronic diseases that occur in men that had the lowest testosterone levels versus men with the higher testosterone levels. And this is something we see consistently in the literature, is that low testosterone is associated with a lot of diseases, notably obesity and diabetes, but also cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's and poor quality of life. But they found in this study that right around 45 years old, if your testosterone is a lower range versus versus average testosterone, cerebral vascular disease increased at a higher rate even at that younger age.
