Sperm counts among men in Asia, Africa and South and Central America have declined over the last five decades and a similar trend, earlier spotted in North America, Europe, and Australia, has accelerated further, warns a new study.
This trend is not just a sign of a decline in human fertility, but is also an indicator of men’s health overall as low sperm count is linked to an increased risk of chronic disease and a decreased lifespan, said researchers, including those from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
