Abstract summarizedQuality not appraised
- What was studied
- An observational study examined relationships between testosterone, gender-minority stress and blood-pressure responses to brief physical and psychological stress.
- Who / model studied
- Twenty-four transgender or nonbinary adults assigned female at birth participated: 12 used testosterone and 12 did not.
- Studied dose & schedule
- Dose and schedule have not yet been extracted for this summary.
- What the study found
- Resting blood pressure was similar between groups. Greater minority stress was associated with a smaller response to psychological stress. Higher testosterone was associated with a larger diastolic response; its systolic association was less certain. These relationships were absent for resting pressure and cold-stress responses.
- Limitations & context
- Study limitations were not stated in the abstract. Methodological quality has not been appraised.
