Men with higher-quality sperm live longer, study finds
Briefly

Recent research conducted by Danish scientists indicates that sperm quality may serve as an indicator of broader male health. Studying nearly 80,000 men, results showed that those with more than 120 million sperm per ejaculate lived two to three years longer than those with fewer than 5 million. The study reveals a correlation between sperm quality and life expectancy, suggesting that better semen quality is linked to overall health and longevity. An analysis of semen samples from men over five decades showed that poorer sperm quality consistently suggested a greater risk of premature death.
The finding implies that semen quality reflects a man's broader health and how likely he is to succumb to medical conditions later in life.
The men with the highest-quality sperm lived to 80.3 years old on average, compared with 77.6 for those with the poorest-quality sperm.
