May support lifestyle programs for vascular health in obese men; hypothesis-generating, needs RCTs to confirm causality.
Kumagai et al. (2014) studied Overweight and obesity (n=11). Lifestyle modification (dietary modification and aerobic exercise) vs. Baseline (pre-intervention) was evaluated on Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) and serum testosterone levels (p=<0.05). A 12-week lifestyle modification program significantly increased serum testosterone and SHBG levels and decreased arterial stiffness in overweight and obese men.
