Living in polluted places reduces the sex hormone levels of men

A recent study by British scientists has shown that habitats may have a certain effect on men's testosterone levels.

According to the study of scientists at the University of Durham in England, early childhood habitat may be the leading factor in determining the level of men.

The residence of a man is the most important factor determining testosterone levels in adulthood.

For a man, there is no hormone important to testosterone. Testosterone levels are crucial to a variety of physiological characteristics of men, including physical, psychological, and sexual ability.

However, there are many factors affecting the environment, genetic genes can affect this hormone level in men.

In the past, genetics or race is often considered to be a key factor in determining testosterone levels, according to research by scientists at Durham University, the place where a man is again critical. Most important determine testosterone levels in adulthood.

Testosterone plays a role in creating masculinity and muscles for men.

The study has conducted many tests on a group of men of the same race, namely Bangladeshi men who grew up in different habitats.

According to Medical Daily, a total of 359 people were divided into different groups based on where they lived and grew up. A group of men came to live in England since childhood. Group two includes people who come to live in the UK when they are adults. The third group is the second generation of Bangladeshi living and growing in the UK and eventually of European descent living in England.

Results from the study showed that men who grew up in Britain from babies had higher levels of testosterone than men living in Bangladesh, a developing country and with poor living environment. Even the results are not different even when compared to well-off men in Bangladesh.

Anthropological researcher at Ddurrham University, Kesson Magid, lead author of the study, shared: "The absolute testosterone level of a man is not related to their ethnicity or where they live. It is depends on their young living environment ".

Testosterone levels depend on their early childhood habitats.

Meanwhile, according to the Independent UK newspaper, living and growing in a physical and mental environment is not guaranteed, for example, environmental pollution, poor nutrient food, etc., can cause the body to consume a lot. Excessive energy, affecting the ability to produce testosterone sex hormones during puberty.

"High or low testosterone levels have implications for male reproductive health. It is important to understand the life of a young man in order to be able to," said co-author Gillian Bentley . sketch the most complete picture of their risks. "

Low testosterone levels will lead to a lot of implications, most commonly fatigue, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, mood and muscle mass loss. However, if testosterone levels are too high, it can also lead to prostate disease, behavioral disorders, and an increased mood.

The study was published in the recent issue of Nature Ecology & Evolution.
