Risks of testosterone therapy in elderly men - Abstract

Testosterone supplementation therapy (TST) is a widely used treatment for men with late onset hypogonadism.

The benefits seen with TST, such as improved libido and energy level, beneficial effects on bone density have been well documented. Although hypogonadism remains an independent risk factor for mortality, recent studies have examined the association between testosterone therapy and cardiovascular risk.
