We\ntraditionally think of testosterone as something that’s related to sexual\nfunction in men. In truth, however, testosterone is so much more important than\njust fueling your libido. Your primary androgen actually plays a crucial role\nin keeping you healthy overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studies\nindicate that testosterone deficiency is associated with several types of\nchronic diseases. If you haven’t been too worried about your declining\ntestosterone levels in the past, you may want to try and raise your T levels\nfor the sake of your health. Find out why you should be concerned about getting\nyour testosterone levels back to normal again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low\nTestosterone Levels Put You at Risk of Multiple Chronic Diseases<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\njournal Scientific Reports published a study on how testosterone deficiency and\nmultiple morbidity were related among American men. The study involved more\nthan 2,000 men who were 20 years old or older. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nresearchers analyzed whether multimorbidity or the presence of multiple morbid\nconditions were more prevalent among those with low testosterone levels. They\nwanted to find out if men who have low testosterone levels tended to have more\nthan one chronic illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nparticular, the researchers looked for the presence of nine chronic conditions.\nThese included cardiovascular illnesses such as high blood pressure,\ncardiovascular disease, stroke, as well as high triglycerides and high\ncholesterol. The researchers also included type 2 diabetes, clinical depression,\nand pulmonary disease in their analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nresults of the study are very insightful, although not that surprising. The\nresearchers found that comparing those who were testosterone deficient and\nthose who had normal testosterone levels, there’s a high prevalence of\nmultimorbidity among men aged 20-39 years and those who were 60 years and\nolder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However,\nfor men aged 40-60 years old, the researchers found no significant difference\namong those with normal testosterone levels and those who had low testosterone\nlevels. Furthermore, the researchers also noted that there were certain\nmultimorbidity conditions that were highly prevalent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hypertension\nand arthritis occurred together most often. This was followed by hypertension\nand low levels of good cholesterol, then diabetes and hypertension,\nhypertension and hypertriglyceridemia, hypertriglyceridemia and low good\ncholesterol levels, and lastly, diabetes, hypertension, and arthritis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\nthis study is basically saying is that even among young men, if you have low\nlevels of testosterone, you could be at a higher risk of multiple chronic\nconditions. And these chronic conditions are not to be taken lightly because\nthese are the ones that could ultimately lead you to death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine\nbeing in your 20s and yet you already have arthritis, diabetes, and\nhypertension. Even if you only have arthritis and hypertension, that’s already\nreally bad news for your overall health, especially at such a young age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And\nyes, the chronic conditions that the authors included in their analysis are all\nfactors that can lead to erectile dysfunction, especially clinical depression,\ndiabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If\nyou’re not worried about your low testosterone levels putting you at a higher\nrisk of various chronic conditions, you should at least worry about your low\ntestosterone levels eventually leading to erectile dysfunction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
