%X Information regarding testosterone as a significant risk factor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in female patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is limited. However, some clinical studies reported the importance of cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) as a novel physiological marker of arterial function in type 2 DM. This cross-sectional study aimed to elucidate the clinical effects of blood testosterone concentration on CAVI in female patients with type 2 DM
