[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 796, member: 3"] In a revealing new study, researchers identified 2,416men (aged 69-81 years) who were not on any kind of testosterone- affecting treatment. These men were subjected to a battery of blood tests that included total testosterone and estradiol (estrogen). The first observation was that men with [I]increasing[/I] levels of testosterone had a [I]decreased[/I] prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, and body fat mass. Compared to men with the highest testosterone levels, those with low testosterone were twice as likely to have a history of cardiovascular disease. It was also observed that men with the [I]highest[/I] testosterone levels were the most [I]physically active[/I]. This large group of men was followed for an average of 5.1 years. Men in the highest quartile of total testosterone (above 550 ng/dL) had a 30% lower risk of cardiovascular events. [B]Any level of total testosterone below 550 ng/dL resulted in significant increased risk, thus helping to establish a minimal baseline as to where total testosterone should be to guard against heart attack or stroke. [/B] Estradiol levels measured in this group appeared to be mostly in safe ranges and did not impact incidence of cardiovascular events.
