Circulating sex hormone levels have been linked to a wide range of cardiovascular risk factors in men, but studies on incident CVD have been inconclusive [1]. Recent data from meta-analyses show an increase in CVD risk with low testosterone in elderly men and no association with estradiol levels [2,3]. To clarify the role of sex hormones in male CVD risk, we examined the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between endogenous sex hormones and subclinical atherosclerosis in a population-based cohort of middle-aged and older men.
