Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between serum testosterone concentrations and hypertension: Results from the Fangchenggang Area Male Health and Examination Survey in China


. Conclusion

Serum TT, FT, and BT concentrations were inversely associated with BP in men. TT, independent of age and BMI, influenced the development of hypertension. It is a risk marker that is beneficial for the identification of high-risk hypertensive individuals. Our results reinforced the need to address the causal relationship and pathophysiological interactions between testosterone concentrations and hypertension.
