Summary
Researchers found that men's sperm quality is highest in the summer and lowest in the winter. The study involved over 15,000 men in Denmark and Florida, showing similar seasonal patterns in both places. The findings suggest that factors other than temperature, such as daylight or lifestyle, might affect sperm quality.
Key Facts
- The study analyzed sperm samples from more than 15,000 men.
