Summary

This study looks at whether having naturally low testosterone levels might increase the risk of dementia, depression, or anxiety. Researchers will analyze genetic data from large biobanks to see if there is a cause-and-effect link. No treatments or medications are given—this is purely an observational study using existing data. The goal is to better understand long-term risks, especially for people receiving hormone-lowering therapies.
