Men and Women are Different
WHY MEN’S HEALTH
• HIGHEST DEALTH RATES FROM CANCER
• HIGHEST DEATH RATES FROM SUICIDE
• HIGHEST DEATH RATES FROM HOMOCIDE
• EARLIER DEATH FROM HEART DISEASE
• HIGHEST DEATH RATES FROM AT LEAST 9/10 OF THE LEADING CAUSES OF DEATH FROM THE CDC
IGNORING MEN’S HEALTH
• CHRONIC MEDICAL CONDITIONS
• CHRONIC PSYCH ISSUES
• IMPACT OF FAMILY UNIT
– DECREASED EARNINGS
– DISABILITY
– DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
– ROLE REVERSALS
– POVERTY
PREVENTION
• GOD BLESSED WOMAN AND THEIR HEALTH BY GIVING THEM A CERVIX; THEY ROUTINELY ENCOUNTER THEIR PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS FOR WELLNESS EXAMS.
• MEN ON THE OTHERHAND RARELY HAVE PREVENTIVE EXAMS OR HEALTH ENCOUNTERS – EXCEPTION 1) ACUTE ILLNESS OF PROBLEM
– EXCEPTION 2) SIGNIFICANT OTHER DRAGS THEM IN FOR AN EVALUATION
STEREOTYPICALLY: THE REAL MAN
LIKE FATHER LIKE SON
SOCIALIZATION OF BOYS
• SUCK IT UP
• BIG BOYS DON’T CRY
• PUT SOME DIRT ON IT ANG GET BACK OUT THERE – CONCUSSION
– WIN AT ALL COSTS INCLUDING CHEATING
• IGNORE PAIN – IGNORE STD
– IGNORE CHEST PAIN LATER IN LIFE
BODY
• CV issues
• Lipids Issues
• Hormones

Introduction
• >50% of all men will die from CVD (n=386,436 in 2010)
– 75% of all CABG patients are male
– 67% of PCI patients are male
• 50% of men who die from CVD have had no previous symptoms
• 32% of men have LDL>130 mg% and 32% have HDL<40 mg%

Men and Women are Different
• Effects of age on lipid levels
• Effects of lipids on risk prediction and “residual risk”
• Effects of diet and weight loss on lipid levels
• Source and effect of psychological stress on CHD risk
©LECS
• HDL: – ♂: levels flat after age 10 until ~60 yo, then
marked increase
– ♀: gradual increase throughout life
• LDL – ♂: gradual increase to ~50 yo, then level
– ♀: gradual increase to ~50 yo, then marked increase with age
• associated with reduction in LDL receptor activity
♂ vs. ♀: The Effect of Age on Lipids
©LECS
• LDL is a stronger predictor of risk in men than in women
• HDL and triglycerides are a stronger predictor of risk in women than in men
♂ vs. ♀: The Effect of Lipids
©LECS
• In most clinical trials, even in high risk groups, the RRR for CVD events with aggressive LDL lowering with statin therapy is only ~20-25%
• The remaining risk is referred to as “residual risk”
♂ vs. ♀: Residual Risk
©LECS
• In women the main contributor to residual risk is an elevated Lp(a)
• In men the main contributor to residual risk is a low HDL-2 sub-fraction

Stress and CVD Risk
©LECS
“In the worry and strain of modern life,
arterial degeneration is not only very
common but develops at a relatively early
age. For this I believe that the high
pressure at which men live and the habit of
working the machine to its maximum
capacity are responsible, rather than
excesses in eating and drinking.”
Sir Wiliam Osler, 1897

“Psycho-social risk factors are clearly
associated with increased coronary risk, which
if modified might lower the incidence
of coronary events.”

Testosterone: Basic Science
©LECS
Testosterone: Basic Science
• Produced mainly in the Leydig cells of the testis in response to LH released from the pituitary gland
• Made by 5 enzymatic steps from cholesterol
• In target cells testosterone and active metabolites bind to intracellular receptors
• Testosterone and active metabolites are metabolized in the liver and excreted in the urine

Case #2
• 30 yo ♂ referred to the lipid clinic by his PCP with new onset dyslipidemia
• Lipid panel:
– 3 years ago: TC=181; LDL=110; trigs=120; HDL=47
– Now: TC=188; LDL=160; trigs=115; HDL=5

Case #2
• On detailed questioning patient states he started working out at a gym 6 months ago where his personal trainer is supplying him with a “supplement” to help him build muscle mass
• Dx: Anabolic steroid abuse
©LECS
Anabolic Steroids
©LECS
Anabolic Steroids (AS)
• AS include more than 40 natural and synthetic derivatives of testosterone
• AS were first developed and used clinically in 1939
– were banned in the Olympics in 1976
• Lipid effects of AS (except on HDL) are not dose-dependent
Glazer; Arch Int Med 1991;151:1925-1933
©LECS
• Marked reduction in HDL: 40-70% with <52%> – lowers HDL2 70-80%
– increases hepatic lipase activity 150-230%
• Increases LDL <36%> – increases apo-B 35-40%
• TC unchanged – drop in HDL offset by increase in LDL
• Usually a modest decrease in trigs

• New “designer” steroids such as prostanozol and methasterol are available over the internet – banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency but not
illegal
• >3M people in the US regularly abuse AS – 6.5% of HS athletes use AS
• Self reported rates in ♂ bodybuilders: 30-70%
Anabolic Steroids (AS)

• Dyslipidemia
• ↑’d myocardial cell apoptosis
• ↑’d ventricular arrythmias and LVH
• ↑’d venous and arterial thrombotic events – ↓ fibrinolysis, ↑ platelet activity, ↑ coagulation factor
concentrations, ↑ PAI-1, ↓ prostacyclin and ↑ endothelin
• AS users have a 3x greater RR for CHD than age-matched non-users

• Gynecomastia
• Hepatotoxicity
– cholestatic jaundice, hepatic adenoma
• Ψ disease
– depression, psychosis, hostility
• Erythrocytosis
• Urinary retention Becker at al; Primary Card 20(3):26 (1994)

AS / Testosterone Replacement
• Smaller lipid effects with IM and transdermal preparations
– transdermal replacement at therapeutic doses has no effect on HDL-C
• Synthetic AS have a much greater lipid effect than testosterone

ED and CVD Risk
©LECS
Association between ED and CVD Risk
• ED prevalence increases with ↑’ing age
– 5-10% at age 40 yo
– 40-60% at age 70 yo
• ED is associated with an 80% ↑RR for CAD across all ages
– 50x ↑ 10 year incidence of CHD in ♂ age 40-49 yo with ED
Inman et al; Mayo Clin Proc 84:108 (2009)
Gupta et al; Arch In Med 171:1797 (2011)
©LECS
• ED and CAD: different manifestations of a common vascular pathology
• Slow, progressive vascular occlusion +/- endothelial dysfunction are the causes of both ED and CVD
– penile artery: 1-2 mm; coronary artery: 3-4 mm; carotid artery: 5-7 mm
Association between ED and CVD Risk
Inman et al; Mayo Clin Proc 84:108 (2009)
Gupta et al; Arch In Med 171:1797 (2011)
©LECS
• There is a strong commonality between risk factors for CAD and ED
– DM, smoking, HTN, old age, dyslipidemia
• Lifestyle modification for CVD RF’s like diet, ↑’d PA, smoking cessation ... are associated with significant improvement in sexual function
• Patients with ED age>40 yo had improvement in Sx’s after 6 months of simvastatin 40 mg qD

Statins and Prostate Cancer
©LECS
Statins and Prostate Cancer
• Several observational studies show a relationship between statin use and cancer incidence reduction, especially with prostate cancer
• Retrospective observational study of 30,076 patients
• Looked at rate of hospital admission with a dx of cancer
Karp et al; Am J Med 2008; 121:302-309
©LECS
• Overall n=30,076
– n=18,738 non-statin users
– n=5,323 low dose statin users
– n=6,015 high dose statin users
• Rates of hospital admission per 1000 person years: non vs low vs high
– all cancer: 26.0 vs 17.2 vs 13.9
– prostate cancer: 5.3 vs 2.3 vs 1.8
Statins and Prostate Cancer
Karp et al; Am J Med 2008; 121:302-309
©LECS
• Preoperative statin use, in a dose-dependent fashion, reduces the risk of recurrence of prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy by up to 50%
• Men on statins during radiotherapy for cancer had a 15% increase in relapse-free status after a 10 year observation period

MINDIt's Not About The Nail (small).mp4
Controversy: NO ONE ONLINE AGREES. AFTER SEARCHING
THROUGH MANY ARTICLES ON THE FOLLOWING POINTS:
FOR EVERY ARTICLE THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ARTICLE TO
DISPUTE.
The differences may be cultural, ethnic, or geographic. For
example,
MEN do better in Math and WOMEN do better in Language.
Mind of a Man in linear ----- ----- ----- ------ ------ ------ GOAL
Mind of a Woman is tangential GOAL
Brain Structure and Function
Hormones may control the difference vs the are innate
differences
Men’s brains are 11-12 % heavier that Women’s Brain vs Men
are heavier and larger than Women
White matter and Gray matter- is it brain size? But consistant
after controlling difference for brain volume
Some studies show that the in greater intralobe neural
communication in male brains and greater interlobe
communication (between the right and left hemishere) in
women
SEX HORMONES
Testosterone, estrogen, progesterone,…..
EXAMPLE: Sexual motivation
Men- testosterone
suppressed with meds- decreased desire
elevated- polymorphous relationships
Women- at different times of menstral cycle differences in desire
Another study shows at ovulation woman prefer
masculine faces, greater affinity to other males than
current partner, Another set of studies show preference
for males with preferential genes (good genes hypothesis)
EXAMPLE: Gender roles- socialization issues: BUT
girls focus on a face
boys focus on mechanical mobils
Girls with congenital hyperplasia (high androgen during pregancy)
play with more boy toys and fewer girl toys
INTELLIGENCE
IQ Tests: Currently designed to minimize the difference between Men and
Women, however there tends to be suttle difference
Extreme controversy- girls score better than boys at the same age
but when older boys score better…..Social issues, health
variables….the difference disappear when there are male vs
female advantages
Math performance: 20 years ago boys scored better, but boys took advance
math classes. Now scores are similar
Spatial Ability: Overall no difference but males have advantage with mental
rotation and assessing horizonatal and vertical. Men have an
advantage in spatial memory. Hypothesis: happened because of
role evolution. Men hunt, women store
Estrogen vs testosterone????
PERSONALITY, AGGRESSIVE,
MEMORY TRAITS
Just more controversy
