The association between low serum testosterone levels and all-cause mortality in male female patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) was investigated. This study extracted data on CVD from the National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database (1999-2000, 2003-2004, 2011-2012, 2013-2014). (≤ 300 ng/dL) evaluated using univariate multivariate Cox regression analyses, hazard ratios (HR) 95% confidence intervals (CI). A total of 1,177 participants (689 males) a mean age 66.01 ± 12.52 years were included study. median follow-up time 55 (44, 71) months. Low occurred 487 (70.68%) males 394 (80.74%) females. Additionally, 202 (29.32%) 94 (19.26%) dead. After adjusting for covariates, associated an increased risk (HR = 1.48, CI 1.08-2.02, P 0.013), while not significant may be patients, but patients.
