A large -scale study published in the Human Reproduction , has revealed a significant relationship between semen quality and men's life expectancy. Scientists have analyzed the data of 78 284 men for 50 years and found that men with a higher total number of moving sperm have a higher probability of long and healthy life.
According to the results, men with more than 120 million mobile sperm can be expected to live 2.7 years longer than those who have this figure from 0 to 5 million.
The study also found that all sperm quality parameters, such as sperm volume, sperm concentration and motility, are negatively correlated with mortality.
"We have observed a clear negative relationship between all sperm parameters and general mortality," the study authors say. "These relationships are not explained by the level of education or diseases registered at the time of semen evaluation."
Researchers emphasize that men with sperm quality disorders may have less healthy aging and require early diagnosis. However, further research is needed to identify specific biomarkers that will help identify high -risk men.
