Male hormones and the probability of mortality
The role of hormonal balance in men’s health is particularly important, especially for the older age group. As men age, hormonal changes in their bodies can affect their health and life expectancy. Sex hormones, such as testosterone and estradiol, play a key role in the development of cardiovascular disease-related risks. These hormones not only influence reproductive health but also impact the functioning of the cardiovascular system. In men, changes in hormonal levels can lead to various health problems, many of which are among the leading causes of death. Scientific research continuously seeks to understand how sex hormones influence mortality rates and how they relate to cardiovascular diseases. Recent studies shed…

The level of sex hormones affects the likelihood of bone fractures
A bone health is receiving increasing attention as people age, particularly among older men. The aging process brings about numerous changes, including a decline in hormonal levels. Hormonal changes significantly impact bone mineralization and overall bone density. The medical community is increasingly recognizing that hormonal imbalances, particularly concerning sex hormones, may be associated with an increased risk of fractures. Sex hormones, such as estradiol and testosterone, play a crucial role in maintaining bone health. Low hormonal levels and binding proteins, such as SHBG, can influence the likelihood of fractures. Research shows that by measuring hormone levels, clinical practice can predict fracture risk, allowing for improved prevention and treatment strategies. The…
