Are low serum testosterone levels associated with increased risk of mortality in a population-based cohort of men aged 20-79?
Low serum testosterone levels were associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality independent of numerous risk factors. As serum testosterone levels are inversely related to mortality due to CVD and cancer, it may be used as a predictive marker.
In this moderate-sized study, we may conclude that when there is no absolute indication for repeating cesarean section, induction of labor may be a safe option in these high-risk women.
