| Quote : | "A new study has found that the sperm count of an average Frenchman fell by one-third between 1989 and 2005.
The findings of the report, published by the Human Reproduction journal on Wednesday, found that the number of sperm in one millilitre of the average 35-year-old French man's semen fell from about 74 million to about 50 million - a decrease of roughly 32 per cent.
"That's certainly within the normal range, but if you think about it, if there continues to be a decrease, we would expect
that we'll get into that infertile range," said Grace Centola, president of the Society for Male Reproduction and Urology in
Birmingham, Alabama.
The findings of the study are in line with similar research. One such study, two decades ago, found that global sperm rates fell by half in the years between 1940 and 1990." |
