Why 20-Year-Old Men Today Have the Testosterone Levels of 70-Year-Olds in the 1970s

If it feels like something’s changed between your generation and your father’s and grandfather’s, science may back you up.

Recent data reveals a startling truth: young men today have significantly lower testosterone levels than their counterparts from just two decades ago. In fact, according to U.S. national health survey data, testosterone levels in men aged 15 to 39 have declined by approximately 25% since 1999.

A Shocking Trend Backed by Research

The data comes from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a long-running program that tracks public health trends. Between 1999 and 2016, the average total testosterone levels in young men dropped from around 605 ng/dL to just 451 ng/dL. Even when accounting for lifestyle factors such as obesity, smoking, and physical activity, the trend remained consistent (NHANES source).

And this isn’t an isolated finding. The Massachusetts Male Aging Study, which tracked men aged 45 to 79 over nearly two decades, also recorded a generational decline in testosterone levels independent of age. In this study, median testosterone levels dropped from approximately 501 ng/dL in the late 1980s to 392 ng/dL by the early 2000s (MMAS study).

I think the left would use the draft against us today, use it to accelerate the decline of the military by who they would draft besides hetro males.

I wonder what kind of Jody songs the military uses today?
I know they got rid of the old ones and along with the male ones they dumped, they probably did away with the ones about the joys of killing.

I actually girl watch
Talking to beautiful women is fun when you’re old and no skin in the game and have a rib
I talk about women more than young guys do

My peers I grew up in the south with are the same

Women even at 67 are still a big focus

And getting some and being grateful for it

Younger men rarely think about it like we do

We’re like live action museum pieces to them the way we still notice and talk about women

There are exceptions and I’ve noticed alpha dad sure helps

Food for thought: are those things the effects of low T, rather than the causes?

My best friend has two sons now in their early twenties. Growing up she only fed them organic meat because she believed the hormones injected into meat would alter their development. They both turned out to be strapping examples of American males.

That’s mighty diluted estrogen
Plus it’s very short acting in water if at all
Most hormones are in an oily medium

I’m shooting from the hip

The article lists good causes. I have always wondered about the effect of environmental toxins ever since I read articles decades about male fish and amphibians being neutered by various pharmaceuticals and other bad substances that we have put in the water supply.

Get them out on a farm or ranch and work outdoors, cut timber, split and stack wood, deal with farm animals, grow crops, all that outdoorsy stuff men did, almost living outside.
