This reporting feels careless.

The study was conducted as part of Alon Levy's master's thesis in public health at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

I'm not saying masters thesis are not good work, but it's not peer reviewed the same way other research is (yet).

Researchers performed a meta-analysis, a statistical method that combines data from multiple previous studies, incorporating six longitudinal studies conducted in Israel, the United States, Brazil, Finland, and Denmark. Each study included testosterone measurements taken at at least three different time points. In total, data from 118,593 men examined between 1972 and 2019 were analyzed.

This is hardly representative of "worldwide".

Feels very

Rising levels of obesity and diabetes are expected to play a part, but the team behind the work suggest that environmental factors such as endocrine-disrupting chemicals – which can be found in various household items – and global heating could also be factors in the apparent striking decline.

So only in ppl who are unhealthy and/or in unhealthy situations. Not really shocking.

Not exactly rocket science. Obesity and sedentary lifestyles disrupt hormonal balance. Of course, people will blame microplastics and "endocrine disruptors", not the Blooming onion at lunch.

Only fans had 7 billion in revenue last year.

just sayin'

Idk in the last 50 years mine feels about the same.

Will this mean less sexual assualt?

Proof that no one can be an Alpha, bro.

This is because I mogged them so hard they spontaneously grew a uterus.

Oh no

Anyway

Rising levels of obesity and diabetes are expected to play a part, but the team behind the work suggest that environmental factors such as endocrine-disrupting chemicals – which can be found in various household items – and global heating could also be factors in the apparent striking decline.

Capitalism strikes again

Given that the study was done on data that started at 1972, how do we know that testosterone levels weren’t just really high in the 70s?

Is it not published yet?

I'm doing my part

MAGA is evidence of this

Elegant solutions, silver linings, etc.
