|November 17, 2022
The decline, including in India, reflects a global crisis related to modern environment and lifestyle: Research
-
An international team of researchers has found a significant decline in sperm counts over the years in many countries globally, including India.
Sperm count is not only an indicator of human fertility but also that of men's health, with low levels being associated with increased risk of chronic disease, testicular cancer and a decreased lifespan, the researchers said.
The decline reflects a global crisis related to modern environment and lifestyle, with broad implications for the survival of the human species, they said.
