Yeah, I think it's both.
We're doing a lot more semen analysis for people.
So we're catching more of these abnormal sperm parameters earlier on.
So we're getting those poor results earlier on.
So that's part of the equation.
Men, definitely in urban areas here in LA, are getting married at a later age.
Sperm counts are declining after your mid-20s.
That's the problem, though, right?
As a male, your counts are going down.
You have to remember each time you ejaculate, there's tens of millions of hundreds of millions of sperm and all you need is one.
But to your point, I do think men are getting married at a later age, therefore they're having kids later.
But there's no question about it.
We're unhealthier, right?
We're less healthy now than we were 20 years ago, 40 years ago, 50 years ago.
We're eating more processed foods.
We wake up and we're sitting at a desk all day, coming back, watching Netflix all day and rinse and repeat.
That's the whole thing.
It's unhealthy living, really.
It's poor food, poor exercise.
We're consumed by screens and all of that just ultimately leads to unhealthy life.
