    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.

    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?
