There are at least three plausible explanations:
- Low testosterone contributes to poorer health that increases cancer risk.
- Undiagnosed cancers (or preclinical disease) suppress testosterone years before diagnosis.
- Some third factor (obesity, chronic inflammation, illness, aging, smoking, frailty, insulin resistance, etc.) lowers testosterone and independently raises cancer risk.
The study cannot distinguish among these.
