While the quality of sperm is associated with male fertility, it can also keep clues for life for a long time. According to a new study, men with high quality sperm live longer than people with poor swimmers who struggle to reach their destination.

Published in huge scale research, Human reproductionMore than 78,000 men were tracked for more than 50 years. Conclusions showed that men with the best quality sperm lived almost three years longer than the least quality people. The ability of sperm to float properly through the female reproductive tract to reach an egg and fertilize is called mobility.

In a statement, a researcher and doctoral candidate at Copenhagen University Hospital, Loreke Priscoun, lead study author said, “It is really better that the quality of semen, long -term survival.”

What links the quality of sperm for a long life?

In the report, researchers compared the quality of sperm samples made between 1965 and 2015 to men undergone infertility tests in Copenhagen. The quality was then compared with the National Medical Records collected by Danish National Health Service. Priscour said, “The quality of semen is low, the lower life expectancy,” Princorn said. “This association was not explained by any diseases in ten years before semen quality evaluation or men’s educational level.”

The count of mobility is usually provided in percentage, not in total number. According to the World Health Organization, a man’s sperm is common if about 42 percent of the sperm in each sample of ejaculation is capable of swimming at its destination. However, counting of lower than 5 million per milliliter of semen is associated with a serious case of oeligospermia or counting of low sperm, which often leads to male infertility, with the study.

However, researchers said that sperm mobility of about 125 million per milliliter of semen, which is considered normal for a fertile man, does not guarantee male fertility.

And so, semen testing can be a marker for male health problems at young age.

Oxidative stress can be responsible

According to experts, the association can be explained due to oxidative stress, when free radicals move on a large scale. Free radicals are unstable molecules that damage DNA inside the cells if they manufacture. They can play a role in many diseases and visible signs of aging. It leads to cell death throughout the body, including testicular and sperm.

According to experts, all genetic, immunologists, metabolic, environmental, or lifestyle factors increase the overall level of oxidative stress and may cause reasons behind changes in semen profiles and subsequent patterns of mortality.

According to the National Cancer Institute, smoking, excessive alcohol, sun risk, pesticides, industrial chemicals, and air pollutants are only a few ways that become active in a man’s body in a man’s body. However, there is a way to fight back with the help of antioxidants in your body, also known as free radical scavengers. These prevent and repair the damage caused by certain types of free radicals.
