Became very popular in recent years, therapy with testosterone has repeatedly been criticized. A number of scientists expressed an opinion on increasing risks for the cardiovascular system. In this case, the popularity of such therapy has increased significantly - over the past 10 years in the US, the number of testosterone used for medical purposes has grown 3.5 times.

To confirm or deny statements about the danger of testosterone, US scientists conducted a large-scale study involving 25,000 people over 65 years of age.

Previous studies have reported an increased risk of heart disease for people taking testosterone. However, the new study did not show the relationship between prolonged use of testosterone and the risk of cardiovascular disease in older men.

Note that therapy with the use of testosterone is used to increase endurance and strength in men who have their own testosterone production decreased with age.

The authors of the study note that their data can be trusted, because the study is very large, which allows us to judge its reliability. At the same time, they also called for waiting for the conclusions of other colleagues conducting similar clinical studies.
