简介
Context
Testosterone (T) levels decline with age and lower T has been associated with increased mortality in aging men. However, the associations of its metabolites, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and estradiol (E2), with mortality are poorly defined.
Objective
We assessed associations of T, DHT, and E2 with all-cause and ischemic heart disease (IHD) mortality in older men.
Participants
Participants were community-dwelling men aged 70 to 89 years who were residing in Perth, Western Australia.
Main Outcome Measures
Plasma total T, DHT, and E2 were assayed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in early morning samples collected in 2001 to 2004 from 3690 men. Deaths to December 2010 were ascertained by data linkage.
Results
There were 974 deaths (26.4%), including 325 of IHD. Men who …
