Abstract
This community-based case-control study was carried out in four cities in South Korea to examine whether vasectomy is associated with a long-term increased risk of cardiovascular death in Korean men. Our results coincide with those from epidemiological studies conducted in Western countries as well as the one study conducted in China and do not support the vasectomy--atherosclerosis hypothesis originating from animal research.Entities:
