In everyone's opinion, estrogen is a problem that women should pay attention to. In fact, men also need to pay attention to it. Generally, for menopausal women, an appropriate supplement of estrogen can help reduce the risk of heart disease. A new study in the United States shows that an appropriate level of estrogen is also beneficial to men's heart health.
Researchers from New York University reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association in May that they conducted a 3-year follow-up survey on 501 men with an average age of 58 to understand the effect of estrogen on male health.
The subjects were all suffering from heart disease such as heart failure, and 171 people died of heart disease during the study period.
Researchers divided the subjects into three levels according to their estrogen levels from low to high. The results showed that heart disease patients with moderate estrogen level had the highest survival rate, 82.4%; The survival rate of patients with the lowest estrogen level was 44.6%; The survival rate of patients with the highest estrogen level was 63.6%. From the results of this study, maintaining an appropriate level of estrogen is beneficial to the male heart.
The researchers said that although from the research results, an appropriate level of estrogen can help men reduce the risk of dying from heart disease, their research only shows that the level of estrogen is related to heart disease, and does not mean that it has the same relationship with other diseases, so it is not recommended that men specifically supplement estrogen.
