The United States has an aging population with older males exhibiting lower testosterone levels. Therefore, Lokeshwar and colleagues hypothesized that serum total testosterone levels will decline in AYA men. However, of note, they demonstrate comparable testosterone values with only some additional accuracy in the latest modality, Lokeshwar said.

These trends coincide with a decline in musculoskeletal strength among young men: In a study , the average to year-old man could apply 98 pounds of force with a right-handed grip, down from pounds by a man of the same age in The answer is complicated. The decline in testosterone levels is almost certainly linked to higher rates of obesity which suppresses testosterone and may be linked to lower rates of smoking in men since nicotine is a potent aromatase inhibitor.
In the study, however, the age-matched declines persisted after controlling for these variables. Many observers put more weight on increased exposure to environmental toxins, such as pesticides, parabens, and chemicals common in household products like phthalates and bisphenol A.
Also playing a role are long-term shifts in the ways we work and live. Meanwhile, certain forms of close relationships—such as marriage, fatherhood, and increased time spent with children— are causally linked to lower testosterone levels. Yet here again the evidence is muddled: On the one hand, Gen-X and Millennial men are marrying later and having fewer kids.
On the other hand, young men today are more likely to live with other people—which may promote prosocial hormones like oxytocin that are natural antagonists to testosterone. And those who are fathers are spending more time with their children. There are several limitations of this study, including a small age-matched trend and limited geographic region surveyed, but the researchers said these data should not be ignored.
