Previously you "liked" the post with this quote:


In contrast, residing at high-altitude locations, especially above 3500 m, is associated with an apparent increased risk [of stroke, or dying from it], probably linked to the presence of polycythaemia and other factors such as increased blood viscosity, and the presence of a hypercoagulable state might increase the risk of developing stroke among those exposed to very high altitudes. It seems clear that short-term exposures to high altitudes are a risk factor for developing a stroke. The available scientific literature suggests that above 3500-4000 m, the risk of developing stroke increases, especially if the exposure is acute among non-adapted populations.


Could initiating TRT be likened to this "acute exposure"? If so then there's a parallel with the studies finding higher risk at the start of TRT.


I guess you also forgot about the graph [USER=17128]@testiculus[/USER] was alluding to, which makes 54% look less arbitrary:
