Abstract
Pathological age-related involution of the male reproductive system is characterized by combined clinical manifestations, which are designated by the terms age-related androgen deficiency syndrome, andropause, and male menopause. In modern foreign literature, the term “late hypogonadism” is more often used; in domestic literature, “age-related androgen deficiency” is utilized. The problem of late hypogonadism has gone beyond the scope of endocrinology and sexopathology. Currently, it has acquired an interdisciplinary character and gained attention from gerontologists, cardiologists, diabetologists, andrologists, and other specialists. The medical and social significance of age-related androgen deficiency syndrome is determined by the fact that it worsens the quality of life and is a risk factor for death, primarily from cardiovascular diseases. The review article presents modern ideas regarding the effect of statins on the androgen status of men with cardiac pathology and hypercholesterolemia.
