Abstract in brief

  • The study found that low serum testosterone levels in male veterans are linked to a higher risk of death over a follow-up period of up to 8 years, even after accounting for other health factors.
  • Men with normal testosterone levels had a mortality rate of about 20%, while those with low levels had a much higher rate of roughly 35%.
  • The results suggest that low testosterone could be an important marker for increased mortality risk, but more research is needed to understand the cause-and-effect relationship.]
