All-cause mortality according to deciles of total testosterone adjusting for age, BMI, WHR, current smoking, alcohol use, and exercise. The squares represent point estimates for HRs, the lines indicate 95% CIs. Men with testosterone below the median (300 ng/dl [10.41 nmol/l]) were at progressively greater risk of mortality, with no added benefit for men above the median testosterone.
