Yes. And actually the opposite is true for you. If you look at the history of eunuchs, they live longer. And so it may actually be that supplementing with testosterone is not conducive to longer life.
The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
the obvious one you know the first or aam's razor view of that would be well that's something about testosterone right and because that's it's not so much that the men who are castrated are getting estrogen and progesterone if you castrate them they're actually going to have no estradi versus the estrad they would have if they could keep their testosterone — but of course that kind of flies in the face of the testosterone replacement data which say well actually it doesn't seem to impact mortality either way
