The sex-specific sex steroid profile seems to be associated to the gender differences between males and females on metabolic and cardiovascular risk (CVR). Objetive: to examine the effects of cross-gender sex steroid exposure on metabolic and CVR parameters. We incorporated 152 women transgender (WT), age (Median) 31 yr old (16–62) and 76 male transgender (MT) age: 25 yr old (17–53), treated at least by 1 year.
