Everyone knows that testosterone is a key hormone for normal everyday function for both men and women, but it is tantamount for men especially, both in their development and overall health. Testosterone is, of course, closely associated with masculinity and manliness. It is absolutely necessary for sexual and reproductive function; bone growth, hair growth, cognitive function, competitiveness, fat metabolism, among other things.
Conversely, low testosterone causes impotence and effeminacy by extension, muscle loss, hair loss, brittle bones and increased risk of fractures, hot flashes, weight gain, irritability, poor concentration and depression. Other studies have shown that low testosterone steadily increases all-cause-mortality and andropause (the male equivalent to menopause), and affects cardiovascular health.
It is no secret that testosterone levels have been dropping drastically year-over-year for some time, particularly in Western nations.
Forbes first reported in 2017, and updated in 2021, a sharp decline in testosterone levels. The magazine wrote:
Studies show that men’s testosterone levels have been declining for decades. The most prominent, a 2007 study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, revealed a “substantial” drop in U.S. men’s testosterone levels since the 1980s, with average levels declining by about 1% per year. This means, for example, that a 60-year-old man in 2004 had testosterone levels 17% lower than those of a 60-year-old in 1987. Another study of Danish men produced similar findings, with double-digit declines among men born in the 1960s compared to those born in the 1920s.
The challenges to men’s health don’t end there. Rates of certain reproductive disorders (like testicular cancer) have risen over time, while multiple European studies have found that sperm counts are sinking. These trends coincide with a decline in musculoskeletal strength among young men: In a 2016 study, the average 20- to 34-year-old man could apply 98 pounds of force with a right-handed grip, down from 117 pounds by a man of the same age in 1985. Though grip strength isn’t necessarily a proxy for overall fitness, it’s a strong predictor of future mortality.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
