Predictive value of low testosterone concentrations regarding coronary heart disease and mortality in men and women - evidence from the FINRISK97 study.

Here, we evaluate the predictive value of low baseline testosterone levels in a large population-based cohort. ⋯ Low levels of testosterone are not predictive regarding future CHD or mortality - neither in men, nor in women.
