I think it might be interesting to compare countries with a high rate of obesity (e.g. US) and countries with a low rate of obesity (e.g. Singapore) here, both because it very likely directly affects men's health and testosterone levels and also because it'll likely create a different level of optical stimulation, thereby indirectly affecting testosterone levels.
Also, the time range of the diagrams in the article correspond to a time when the weight of an average american roughly 1.5x-ed. I'd guess that diluting the same absolute testosterone amount to 1.5x the volume will also have measurable effects.
- theandrewbailey 4y agoThe article mentions it: > Obesity and bad diets can impact sperm count. But the US, a world center of obesity, seems to be doing better than many less obese countries, and countries like China and France that have maintained relatively low rates of obesity and overweight seem heavily affected. If modern diets are the problem, then it has to be something more insidious than obvious you-are-very-fat obesity - unless you want to use the “all regional comparisons are too low sample size for us to care” card.
