Article Synopsis
- Recent research indicates that males with gynaecomastia have a higher long-term risk of death, particularly when underlying health issues exist.
- A study in Denmark tracked 23,429 men with gynaecomastia, revealing a 37% increased risk of all-cause mortality compared to age-matched controls.
- Specific causes of death were linked to cancers and diseases of the circulatory, pulmonary, and gastrointestinal systems, with a notably high risk of liver disease.
Fragility fractures, resulting from low-energy trauma, occur in approximately 1 in 10 Danish women aged 50 years or older. Bilateral oophorectomy (surgical removal of both ovaries) may increase the risk of fragility fractures due to loss of ovarian sex steroids, particularly estrogen. We investigated the association between bilateral oophorectomy and risk of fragility fracture and whether this was conditional on age at time of bilateral oophorectomy, hormone therapy (HT) use, hysterectomy, physical activity level, body mass index (BMI), or smoking.
