摘要: Abstract Although an indicator of prenatal testosterone (PT), 2D:4D ratio, has been extensively studied in the domain financial risk taking, other domains have received less attention. It is thought that elevated levels PT relate to more masculinised behaviours, including increased taking propensity. In this study, we report negative findings with regards health (average weekly drinking and daily smoking) sexual (lifetime number partners) a sample post-menopausal Finnish women (N = 146–262). Our results suggest may not masculinise women, at least older age.
