⺠Low-normal testosterone predicts cardiovascular disease and mortality in aging men. ⺠Lower testosterone is associated with reduced sexual activity and frailty. ⺠Subclinical thyroid dysfunction predicts coronary heart disease and mortality. ⺠In older men, higher free thyroxine levels are associated with poorer outcomes.
