Vasectomy and risk of aggressive prostate cancer: a 24-year follow-up study
- J Clin Oncol. 2014 Sep 20 - "Vasectomy was
associated with a small increased risk of prostate cancer overall (RR, 1.10;
95% CI, 1.04 to 1.17). Risk was elevated for high-grade (Gleason score 8 to
10; RR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.03 to 1.45) and lethal disease (death or distant
metastasis; RR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.00 to 1.43). Among a subcohort of men
receiving regular prostate-specific antigen screening, the association with
lethal cancer was stronger (RR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.03 to 2.36) ... The results
do not appear to be due to detection bias, and confounding by infections or
cancer treatment is unlikely"

Relationship of sex steroid hormones with bone mineral density in a
nationally-representative sample of men - Clin Endocrinol (Oxf). 2008
May 14 - "Men in the lowest quartile of free
estradiol had 70% increased odds (OR=1.69, 95% CI 0.95-2.98) of osteopenia
compared with men in the highest quartile. Men in the lowest quartile of
free testosterone had nearly four times the odds of osteopenia than those in
the highest quartile (OR=3.82; 95% CI 1.87-7.78). Lower concentrations of
SHBG appeared protective against osteopenia (p-trend=0.01). Neither total
testosterone nor total estradiol was associated with BMD, although men with
clinically low estradiol (<20 ng/l) had lower BMD (0.930 g/cm(2), 95% CI
0.88-0.98) than men with normal-range estradiol (1.024 g/cm(2), 1.01-1.04;
p=0.004"

had the surgery"
