2 citations
,
July 2021 in “Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology” This study suggests that lisinopril's cardiometabolic effects are weaker in men with early-onset male-pattern baldness compared to those with normal hair growth.

,
January 2021 in “Cureus” This case report examines the long-term impact of extensive anabolic-androgenic steroid use on metabolic and cardiovascular health, highlighting adverse effects to guide primary care for this patient group.
October 2023 in “The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism/Journal of clinical endocrinology & metabolism” This review found that hyperandrogenism in premenopausal women is linked to a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and diseases regardless of obesity, while in postmenopausal women, these risks depend on obesity.

July 2025 in “Archives of Sexual Behavior” This study found that while men's facial appearance, specifically attractiveness and masculinity, correlated with cardiometabolic indicators like insulin resistance and triglycerides, these links disappeared after adjusting for factors such as age, adiposity, and testosterone levels, suggesting that facial cues do not reliably indicate metabolic health.
4 citations
,
August 2018 in “Clinical Endocrinology” This study found that among women with polycystic ovary syndrome, insulin resistance was more strongly associated with cardio-metabolic abnormalities than β-cell dysfunction, and they showed different correlations with obesity.
