Study Links Low Testosterone to Higher Cancer Mortality Risk in Men

An international study involving over 26,000 men found that very low testosterone levels (below 8.6 nmol/L) are associated with an 18% increased risk of dying from cancer later in life. Published in Lancet Healthy Longevity, the research suggests these levels could serve as an important early warning sign for future health risks. The study clarified that low testosterone itself wasn't directly linked to prostate cancer, but rather low SHBG and luteinizing hormone were.
