The effect of testosterone level on metabolic syndrome: a cross-sectional study.

Weak negative correlations were observed between testosterone levels and several anthropometric measures/glucose metabolisms (p < 0.05). The highest correlation was between total testosterone levels and body mass index (rho= -0.390, p < 0.001) CONCLUSION: According to our results, controlling weight, one of the preventable risk factors, can have a positive effect on testosterone levels and, therefore, on the cardiovascular system through different mechanisms.
