Topical testosterone plus exercise cuts dangerous belly fat in older women recovering from hip fracture
A study of 66 women over 65 recovering from hip fractures found that adding a topical testosterone gel to an exercise program reduced visceral fat (while total body fat stayed similar), suggesting a targeted approach to fat distribution could improve recovery and aging health without the muscle loss associated with blanket weight loss strategies. The STEP-HI study was published in Obesity Pillars.
