Our reason for performing this study is to evaluate trans men's hormone profile and metabolic status to compare with cisgender women in a more selected population. This is the first case-controlled study to compare anthropometric, metabolic, and endocrinological parameters of drug-naïve trans men with those of cisgender women.\u0000\u0000\u0000MATERIAL AND METHODS\u0000We designed this study as a single-centre observational cohort study.
