The results obtained after the researchers observations of 232 men who had suffered heart failure at the age of 40-80 years and compared them with 362 healthy men the same age.
Professor Ewa A. Jankowska of Wroclar Medical University in Poland explained that when men get older, they are increasingly at risk of experiencing andropause or menopause, as well as the experience of sexual hormones such as testosterone deficiency, as reported by the Third Age.
This study shows that the andropause syndrome found in nearly a third of men who have had heart failure, no matter how old they are. In men aged 40-59 years, the risk of heart failure increased fourfold andropause. Meanwhile, the symptoms of andropause in men aged 60-80 years, who had experienced either heart failure or not, it turns out the same.
From these studies, scientists concluded that heart failure and heart disease can accelerate the natural aging process in men and cause them to feel the signs of early menopause or andropause.
