Testosterone replacement therapy is prescribed for men to combat the natural decline in testosterone as they age. Testosterone replacement therapy is approved specifically for the treatment of abnormally low testosterone levels, a condition called hypogonadism and commonly called “low T.” 的 hormone helps build muscle, reduce body fat and improve sex drive. 根据 网赌十大靠谱平台下载报道, more than 5 million prescriptions for testosterone were written in the United States in 2011 alone. Testosterone therapy is most often administered as a gel, patch or injection.

低T疗法的研究

Recent studies have linked prescription testosterone use with the increased risk of 心脏病s, 中风甚至死亡.

的 Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reported a link between testosterone supplements and an increased risk of death, 心脏病 and 中风 in a November 2013 study.  的 JAMA study examined the health records of more than 8,700 men with low testosterone (defined as below 300 nanograms per deciliter) who had coronary angiography—a test to determine plaque buildup in blood vessels—in the Veterans Health Administration system between 2005 and 2011. 的 study found that those who used testosterone supplements were about 30 percent more likely to have a 心脏病, 中风, 或者在使用三年后死亡. 男人的, 1,223 had testosterone therapy and nearly 26% of them suffered a 心脏病, 中风 or died for a reason included in the study within the following three years compared with 20% of those not taking testosterone. Many of the men in both groups had a history of 心脏病s, 糖尿病或冠状动脉疾病, although those taking testosterone were slightly younger and had lower rates of other illnesses.

令人担忧的是, the re搜索ers found that men who started the study with clear coronary arteries were just as likely to have a 心脏病, 中风 or die as men who entered the study with established coronary artery disease. This difference could be seen even after the re搜索ers took into account age, 血压, 心脏病和其他因素的存在.
