  How does this translate to health benefits and downsides? Is there a lower incidence of prostate cancer in fathers compared to childless men? I'm asking since there's an extreme difference in prostate cancer prevalence tied to race (in the US at least) and some attribute this to testosterone level differences. The differences are however smaller than in your study. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3455741/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3455741/

    Dunno. But there is a lot of research on that. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3066425/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3066425/ https://medicaljournalssweden.se/SJU/article/view/11787 https://medicaljournalssweden.se/SJU/article/view/11787
