A significant study from Copenhagen University has revealed a troubling trend: sperm counts have halved over the past fifty years, raising concerns about men's health. The largest study of its kind analyzed the semen quality of 78,284 men over decades. Results indicated that higher sperm counts were associated with increased lifespans, while extremely low counts heightened mortality risks significantly. Men with fewer than 5 million motile sperm faced a 61% higher risk of early death, and those with low counts exhibited an increase in hospitalizations, suggesting a serious tie between reproductive health and overall well-being.
Higher sperm counts were linked to longer lifespans - Men with more than 120 million motile sperm lived an average of 2.7 years longer than those with fewer than 5 million motile sperm.
Extremely low sperm counts carry the highest mortality risk - Surprisingly, men with very low sperm counts (under 5 million motile sperm) had a 61% higher risk of dying early.
