Overview

Common risk factors in the development of hypogonadism in men are dyslipidemia, obesity, alcohol intake, malignancies and metabolic syndrome. Common risk factors in women include nulliparity and dysmenorrhea. Other risk factors include coronary heart disease, hypertension, heart failure, and smoking.[1]

Risk Factors

Men

Based on several studies done in different populations, many risk factors for hypogonadism have been suggested. The studies ended up into common and less common risk factors which are discussed below.[1][2][3]

Common risk factors in men

Common risk factors of hypogonadism include the following:

Less common risk factors in men

Less common risk factors of hypogonadism include the following:

Women

Based on a study done among women in menopause, various risk factors of hypogonadism or premature ovarian failure were suggested. These risk factors are enlisted below.[7][8]

Common risk factors in women

  • Nulliparous women
  • History of irregular menstrual periods
