[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 2530250, member: 223921"] Wow never realised that low testosterone could be fatal in it's self though it can lead to higher cardio vascular risks in the long term. And men with low testosterone do seem to die earlier from all causes than those with normal levels. " Robert Davis, MD, professor of urology at the University of Rochester, N.Y. Davis says low testosterone is common among men with metabolic syndrome -- a constellation of risk factors including abdominal fat, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, low HDL cholesterol, and high blood-fat levels. "Certainly I'm not surprised at this finding. It's been shown that low testosterone correlates with metabolic syndrome, which is related to diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and vascular disease," Davis tells WebMD. "The need to check testosterone levels in people with metabolic syndrome is being recognized more and more among physicians.""
