Researchers from Edith Cowan University have recently analysed the results of previous randomised control trials that examined if taking testosterone supplements improved cognitive function in older men.
The evidence shows that testosterone supplementation may help men stay mentally sharp into old age.
The Australian Alzheimer’s Research Foundation’s Director of Research, Professor Ralph Martins AO, said what was particularly exciting about the analysis was the potential for testosterone supplementation to delay the onset of dementia.
“If testosterone supplementation, either alone or in combination with other treatments, can delay the onset of symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease by a few years, this could make a huge difference to the lives of those with the disease and their families”.
The Foundation has set up their own randomised control trial to test if testosterone supplementation on its own or in combination with fish oil can delay the cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
