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I'm not saying masters thesis are not good work, but it's not peer reviewed the same way other research is (yet).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

I agree, I just don't want people replying thinking I was talking shit for no reason. It may pass peer review in the future, and the masters may have been awarded, meaning it may have at least passed his committee.

The other 50% is microplastics

Bro forward influencers will pick up on this in no time.

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.

These affect all of us. You live in the woods?

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 1 points 1 week ago

Everyone have testosterone concerns? From what I read :

Others said that such a conclusion would be premature. “Obesity and diabetes could easily account for all of this,” said Jayasena

Once they see issues in healthy ppl ill be concerned.

[-] Krusty@quokk.au 2 points 1 week ago

Haven't you heard of global heating?

It's a very serious problem, gee golly duncha know!

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 1 points 1 week ago

For the small % mentioned in the article. Most of it is just having unhealthy practices.

Others said that such a conclusion would be premature. “Obesity and diabetes could easily account for all of this,” said Jayasena

And global climate change is going to do waaay more damage than mere testosterone issues.

and air temperature makes man boobs.

[-] Krusty@quokk.au 1 points 6 days ago

Gynecomastia is a serious problem affecting millions of men with gorgeous breasts.

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

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.
