Y chromosome loss affects male heart health
Recent studies reveal that the loss of the Y chromosome in men is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. It also indicates a decline in cognitive abilities and a reduction in average lifespan. As men age, the proportion experiencing partial loss of this chromosome rises, reaching 40% among those in their sixties and exceeding 50% in their nineties. Scientists believe that this loss causes damage to heart tissue and raises the likelihood of heart attacks.
