Impact of Corona on Testosterone Replacement Therapy Market Key Manufactures and Business Overview till 2026 | Endo International, AbbVie, Eli lilly -...

Dear Annie: My son and his fiancee are getting married next month at the courthouse in the city where they live. Due to their feelings about COVID-19 and the travel involved (they live in another state), family is not invited and they will only have their two attendants.

They plan on having another ceremony for family and friends in 2022.

How are other families handling situations like these? I never thought I wouldn't be invited to my son's wedding. He is acting like it's not a big deal, and I'm trying to respect that. But I'm a little hurt. We would've traveled there even if it is just at the courthouse.

Do we give them their wedding gift now or wait, or do both? Sad Mom

Dear Sad Mom: My congratulations on your son's marriage and my sympathies that you can't be there in person to see it officiated. Perhaps your son could set up his phone to stream a live video from the courthouse that you and other friends and family members can watch to feel more part of the ceremony. As for the wedding present, it's entirely up to you to give one now or wait until the friends-and-family ceremony. Both options are equally thoughtful.

As hard as it will be not to be there in person that day, keep in mind that your son doesn't want you to be there precisely because he cares about you. And he's wise to be cautious. There are many instances of weddings, even relatively small ones, becoming hotspots for COVID-19 transmission. Take the Texas wedding in June at which at least 12 people were infected, including the 76-year-old grandfather of the groom, who ended up in the emergency room with double pneumonia, and the stepmother of the groom, who missed the births of two grandchildren because she was sick and quarantining.

Then in August, there was the Maine wedding that resulted in at least 170 cases and eight deaths. (None of the people who died had attended the wedding, but they had each been in contact with someone who did.)

While a handful of people at the courthouse would pose less risk than a large reception, it's still a risk. Plus, small guest lists have a way of multiplying: If they invited you, then they'd have to invite the bride's parents, too. Then the grandparents and siblings might want to come. And so on.

Of course, it's a huge disappointment that you won't be there when your son is legally married. Looking at the big picture, though, you've raised a conscientious young man who has found the love of his life. In a bleak year, that is blissful news.

Dear Annie: As a man nearing 40, my wife and I hit a stretch of low to no intimacy. I was always tired and had little interest. Finally, I got the nerve to visit a hormone specialist and discovered I had low testosterone. Testosterone replacement therapy has saved our marriage and turned the clock back in the bedroom. I feel like I'm in my mid-20s. It has helped tremendously with my overall mood and everyday life. If done correctly by the specialist, there are no ill effects on fertility, so having children will still be possible. Revitalized

Dear Revitalized: Thanks for the tip. I encourage anyone experiencing low sex drive to talk to their doctors to suss out the underlying issue. It can sometimes signal serious health problems.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy Market Is Fast Approaching, Says Research - Eurowire

During the George Floyd protests in New York City, a 20-year-old woman, Dounya Zayer, was left with a concussion after being aggressively pushed to the cement by a male officer, Vincent DAndraia, who was eventually charged with misdemeanor assault, criminal mischief, harassment and menacing.

Are males stronger than females, and if so, should women get treated differently by male law enforcement officers?

You might be surprised, but males are generally stronger than females due to their larger size, says Dr. Carol DeNysschen, a professor and the chair of Buffalo State College Department of Health, Nutrition, and Dietetics.

Pound for pound, there is a very small difference in muscle strength between genders. Males generally have more muscle fibers and a bigger cross sectional muscle mass.

Muscle mass is tied to testosterone levels.

In general, elevated testosterone in males produces increased muscle mass and strength compared to females, says Dr. Randal Snyder, a biology professor at Buffalo State College.

Are police officers trained to treat female and male offenders or suspects differently because of these physiological differences? According to John Reinholz, a current lecturer of criminal justice and sociology at Buffalo State College, this isnt the case.As police officers, we dont think about size or strength. Its not part of the training that we receive when making an arrest, the retired criminal investigator says.

However, there is an exception for pregnant females. Law enforcement would make sure that the person being taken into custody is treated with the utmost care. This wasnt the case in Missouri when a Kansas City police officer was caught kneeling on a pregnant woman.

When a male officer handles a female offender or suspect, and because males are generally stronger than females, what defines excessive force?

Police officers are generally allowed to use whatever force is necessary to make an arrest or defend themselves, according to Nolo.

In most jurisdictions, when a jury must decide if an officer used excessive force, it is the judge who instructs it to consider what a reasonable person with the officers knowledge would have deemed necessary under the circumstances.

The last thing in the world that I would want as a trooper or as a supervisor investigator is for force to be used, Reinholz says. We try to treat everybody with dignity and respect. Thats something that were taught from day one.

Is there a link between aggressive behavior and males and if so, is this why male officers are caught using excessive force?

Up front Ill say that there are really no anatomical things that impact aggression differences, says Dr. Dwight Hennessy, a professor and the chair of Buffalo State College Department of Psychology. Much of this is traceable to socialization differences because aggression is evident in both boys and girls early on and begin to diverge as they are socialized differently.

The different types of aggression that are deemed acceptable, according to Hennessy, vary by gender. In children, it is more socially accepted for boys to be more physically aggressive while social and relational aggression is modeled for girls.

A number of differences can account as to why male officers are more likely to be caught using excessive force. One variable could be, according to Reinholz, is that there are far more males than females in law enforcement.

As of 2018, women make up just 12.6 percent of law enforcement in the United States.How does the New York State Police Department ensure that females are treated with dignity and respect upon arrest? The use of body cameras have certainly helped, according to Reinholz, as well as the presence of female officers. However, when he was a trooper, they didnt have body cameras.

When a male trooper is arresting a female offender we will always try to make sure that somebody is with us to observe to make sure that there are no allegations of impropriety later.

In reality, males are generally stronger than females, but the question remains, what force is exactly deemed necessary when male law enforcement officers handle females?

Should females be treated differently by male law enforcement officers? - The Record

What do prostate cancer and Covid-19 have in common? testosterone. How did the researchers arrive at the hypothesis that antiandrogen-based treatment might be a possible way to prevent covid-19?

Coronavirus Male Fertility

Men with prostate cancer treated with anti-androgens, a hormone therapy that lowers testosterone levels, are less likely to catch the new coronavirus and develop a severe form of the disease, according to a study published in the Annals of Oncology monthly of the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO). It is the first to suggest a link between this treatment and Covid-19.

The researchers put forward the hypothesis that anti-androgenic treatments could partially protect prostate cancer patients from the new coronavirus. Cancer patients have an increased risk of becoming infected and developing severe forms of Covid-19, they point out.

Their hypothesis is based on recent research that a protein called TMPRSS2 helps the virus to infect human cells. The levels of this protein are under the control of androgens in the prostate, but also in the lungs.

This could explain why men infected with the new coronavirus develop a more aggressive form of the disease than women, according to Professor Andrea Alimonti of the Universit della Svizzera Italiana (Bellinzona, Switzerland). Of the 4,532 men in the Italian region of Veneto who were infected with the new coronavirus, 9.5% had cancer and 2.6% had prostate cancer.

Read Also: Males Facing Sterilizing Cancer Treatment Can Now Preserve Testicular Tissue

Male cancer patients had 1.8 times higher risk of infection than the general male population and developed a more severe disease. However, of all prostate cancer cases in this particularly affected area, only four of the 5,273 men who received anti-androgen treatment developed an infection and none died.

According to Prof. Alimonti, the risk of developing an infection was four times lower in these patients than in those who did not receive anti-androgen therapy. The risk of developing a serious form of Covid-19 was five times lower in men with prostate cancer taking anti-androgen drugs compared to any other type of cancer.

The researchers, therefore, referred to the possibility of a limited (e.g. one month) use of anti-androgens, the effect of which is reversible, to prevent Covid-19 infection in men.

One effect of hormone therapy in prostate cancer is impotence, notes Professor Fabrice Andr, Research Director at the Institut Gustave Roussy (IGR, France), who advises against its use before clinical studies confirm its efficacy. According to this oncologist, editor-in-chief of the Oncology Annals, this study provides a reason to evaluate the efficacy of treatment against Covid-19, but does not allow conclusions to be drawn about its role in patients infected with the coronavirus.

Several studies around the world on patients with cancer are ongoing and should soon come up with a conclusion on this hypothesis.

Study Shows That Testosterone Lowering Drugs Could Prevent Men From Getting COVID-19 - Gilmore Health News

It used to be so much more uncomplicated. Two men wearing boaters would string a tape across the finish line, the winner surging through in plimsolls, hands in the air.

If it was a dead heat the blazers would puff their pipes in a solemn huddle and the local lad declared the winner. The gentlemen runners would shake hands, agree the best man won and move on to collect their Olympic medals.

Much simpler times and a clarity of rule-making that drew on certainties and paradigms of the day. Its a historical milieu into which the transgender LGBTQ dispute and growing male/female definitions do not comfortably fit.

In those days it was always men steering that ship. Men because people like the modern founder of the Olympic Games, Baron de Coubertin, emerged from the muscular Christian right. His great strength was unwavering certitude on issues such as what defined men and women. Now more hilarious than ever.

But those serious-looking officials in their flat hats and leather shoes, what would they think now as their certainties become so uncertain, as their notions of male and female become a 21st century battleground, as their ideas of gender are no longer dogmatic and the once commonly held belief that sex is binary hotly disputed.

In sport there has always been disagreement, and each generation has had their own way of working it out. Recently World Rugby became the first international sports body to ban trans women from the womens game following an eight-month review.

They ruled that they could no longer play elite womens rugby after the latest science concluded that the risk of significant injury was too great. This week the RFU broke ranks saying further scientific evidence is required.

Fair Play for Women, a campaigning group working to protect the rights of women, were one of the first out of the blocks attacking the RFU.

Everyone knows that in a rough sport like rugby it is dangerous for males to play against females, said the campaigning groups Nicola Williams. And if its not safe, it can never be fair either. The science is clear. Growing up male will give transgender athletes a lifelong edge that simply cannot be fully reversed.

Williams added the category for the female sex was invented so women and girls could be included in sport, and World Rugby has put the safety of its professional female players first. She asked why the RFU doesnt do the same, why women players dont deserve the same protections. Thing is, other people disagree.

Trans athletes are those with a condition called gender dysphoria, which compels individuals of one gender to assume the identity of the opposite sex. That often results in gender reassignment surgery and hormone treatment. An athlete nominally born male may end up playing in a female rugby match.

Since 2004, Olympic rules have permitted trans women to compete in athletics if they are two years removed from gender-reassignment surgery. The decision followed a Dutch study in the European Journal of Endocrinology.

It found that within a year after gender-reassignment surgery, trans women had testosterone and haemoglobin levels no higher than their female-born compatriots important because high testosterone is associated with masculine levels of muscle mass and strength, while high haemoglobin is associated with greater aerobic capacity.

The question is whether their prior lives as a male, their male muscle growth and male muscle memory can be undone, unmemorised after two years, or does the surge of testosterone at puberty give an enduring advantage.

New International Olympic Committee (IOC) guidelines came out in 2016. Female-to-male athletes can now compete without any restrictions. Male-to-female athletes no longer need to have reassignment surgery, but do need to demonstrate lowered testosterone levels of 10 nanomoles per litre (nmol/L), which is around the bottom of the range considered normal for adult males. It is also more than three times higher than the upper limit of the normal range for adult females.

So the IOC, from originally having athletes parade naked in front of female doctors to have their sex assigned, now ask for a hormone readout. They categorise athletes into male and female not on how they were born and not on their chromosomes or how they look internally or externally.

This process segues uneasily towards athletes being told they must take certain drugs in order to compete pretty dire messaging given ongoing doping issues.

But some trans activists, such as the leading Canadian cyclist and academic philosopher Dr Rachel McKinnon, believe the requirement to suppress testosterone with drugs should be scrapped altogether. She argues fairness cannot require the elimination of all significant competitive advantages.

Other groups believe that if a person does not identify with the sex they were assigned at birth they must be able to transition socially and participate in sports consistent with their gender identity.

They argue that divide and conquer gets it all wrong, that excluding trans women hurts all women, that a persons genetic make-up and internal and external reproductive anatomy are not useful indicators of athletic performance.

Rugby, inevitably, has stepped up to face a question where there is currently no clear answer. Geneticists, endocrinologists, ethicists, coaches, campaigners and athletes agree to disagree. The notion of a tape or a whistle as an antiquated metaphor for the certainty and simplicity of another time seems further away than ever.

Is Centrapeak the ultimate testosterone booster?

In this review, well see if Centrapeak is better than other testosterone boosters on the market at boosting muscle growth, improving confidence & well being, and enhancing libido among others.

Testosterone is one of the most crucial hormones for both men and women. It is responsible for regulating a number of bodily functions, from hair growth to muscle development.

The issue is, many men today suffer from sub-optimal T levels. Normally, your T levels start going down by about 1% every year after 30. [24] But nutrient-poor diets and constant stress, among others, are contributing to a premature testosterone decline.

Low T means youll have a harder time recovering from training and building muscle. Your body will start to accumulate fat, and hold onto it, more easily. Not to mention poor libido and confidence.

This is where a testosterone booster like Centrapeak comes into play

Centrapeak is often regarded as the next evolution of natural testosterone boosters. It provides some of the cleanest nutrients and ingredients currently available on the market, and promises to improve mood & resistance to stress in addition to stimulating natural T production.

In our experience, Centrapeak is ideal for anyone who wants a performance supplement that isnt limited to just one benefit but offers a complete body and mind support.

Obviously, Centrapeaks formula was designed from several angles, which is a rarity in the testosterone booster market. The manufacturers of this supplement have not only considered the boost in testosterone, but also mental health.

Lets explain why this matters.

Since lower test levels are attributed to poor mental health and prolonged stress, the first step towards building your physique is to support your mental performance.

Think about it every choice we make regarding diet, training, and lifestyle is influenced by our mood. Even the most potent of supplements cant help if your mood will lead you to make choices that will sabotage your progress.

This is one of the reasons why Centrapeak stood out to us. The fact that it addresses the mental aspect of bodybuilding, unlike most test boosters, makes it very different from whats currently available out there.

Things have been looking good for Centrapeak up to this point. But as always, marketing hype is one thing, the ingredients and science behind them are another.

So, what does research have to say about the ingredients in Centrapeak?

First, lets have a look at whats inside. Each serving (3 capsules) of Centrapeak contains these ingredients:

As youll notice, Centrapeak has a clear nutrient profile. Nothing is hidden from the list of ingredients. There are no proprietary blends which would mask the doses of ingredients. Good!

So, how do these ingredients actually work? See for yourself.

Appropriately dubbed the sunshine vitamin, vitamin D is actually a secosteroid hormone and a precursor to testosterone.

Ideally youd get all of your vitamin D from the UV rays of the sun. With the help of cholesterol, your body converts the sunlight into the active form of vitamin D.

Various studies have found a strong link between testosterone and vitamin D. One German trial found that when 54 overweight males were given 3,332IU of vitamin D daily for one year, their total T levels increased from 10.7-13.4 nmol/L and free T levels from 0.22-0.27 nmol/L. [1]

Unless youre living in a climate where theres lots of sun all year-round, you probably arent getting optimal levels of vitamin D for conversion. Even foods that contain vitamin D eggs, oily fish, fortified cereals rarely provide enough to have an effect on hormones.

To highlight this point, one study found that as many as 42% of Americans are deficient in vitamin D. The further from the equator your live, or the darker your skin tone, the less likely youll get what you need from the sun. [2]

Current evidence suggests higher doses of vitamin D3 work best for health and performance. Specifically, its reported that we need 3,000-5,000IU of vitamin D per day to meet the needs of every cell in our body. [3]

Centrapeak contains 3,300IU per serving which is a highly effective dose thats been safely used in long-term clinical studies.

Also called pyridoxine, vitamin B6 is crucial in promoting overall well-being. It supports the function of your liver, it protects your vision, and influences the health of your skin and hair.

B6 also regulates haemoglobin a molecule that enables your blood to carry oxygen to tissues throughout your body.

Vitamin B6 is a great all-rounder you cant go wrong with. In terms of testosterone, research has found it to boost the levels of the male hormone directly by stimulating other anabolic hormones, while also reducing the build up of the female hormone oestrogen testosterones arch-nemesis.

By contrast, not getting enough vitamin B6 could put you at risk of low testosterone. [4]

Other studies have found that a high intake of B6 can lower estrogen levels by up to 30%, giving your testosterone more room to breathe. [5]

Magnesium is an essential co-factor in your body. Meaning, it regulates countless enzymatic reactions including those that influence brain function, bone strength, and heart health.

The mineral supports metabolism and athletic endurance as well as helps regulate the level of strength your muscles can generate. Magnesium is often used by athletes due to its ability to boost recovery, improve sleep quality and increase lean mass.

Centrapeak has used it not only because it does all of the above; its been found to significantly raise testosterone levels too, including the free and total T. Magnesium also calms the nerves, making you feel better mentally. [6]

If youre training on a regular basis, chances are you arent getting enough magnesium. Current evidence shows that many athletes only meet around 60-70% of their daily need for this mineral. The more you sweat, the higher your intake should be. [7]

Zinc is another key mineral when it comes to testosterone. Naturally found in foods such as oysters, shellfish, and beef, your body cant make zinc on its own.

The issue is, approximately 2 billion people are zinc deficient. So theres a good chance you could benefit from zinc supplementation.

Zinc boosts health by regulating metabolism, controlling cell growth, protecting prostate function, and maintaining brain performance.

In terms of testosterone, zinc can help prevent dips in the male hormone. This was shown in a study where elite male athletes experienced a reduction in their testosterone levels after hard training. But when they were given 3mg per kg of body weight daily for 4 weeks, their testosterone levels remained high. [8]

Zinc is also very good for fertility. In a study with 40 men, its been shown to help increase both T and DHT (a type of anabolic hormone that is 4 times as strong as testosterone). 9 of those men were able to get their partners pregnant. [9]

Not all heroes wear capes, and the same goes for vitamin K2 and testosterone boosting.

Although its an uncommon ingredient in test boosters, its actually been shown to have a profound effect on the male hormone.

Studies show it works together with vitamin D3 to boost anabolic hormone production. [10] Not only does vitamin K2 offer a supportive role in testosterone boosting, it does it directly too.

In one study, supplementation of K2 for just 5 weeks led to a whopping 70% increase in circulating levels of the hormone. [11]

Youll find it in egg yolks and red meat, however, both of these foods are high in saturated fat which may not be in line with your diet goals. Supplementation is one easy way around this problem.

Your body gets Indole-3-Carbinol (I3C) from a compound called glucobrassicin. Glucobrasicin is found in high amounts in broccoli, kale and other cruciferous vegetables.

I3C has been shown to help fight some types of cancer, along with protecting from respiratory issues and increasing energy levels.

This natural compound elevates testosterone in a different way to other nutrients weve analyzed so far.

You see, I3C essentially blocks aromatase, an enzyme responsible for turning your testosterone into the female sex hormone oestrogen.

By slowing down the conversion of T to estrogen, I3C allows for more bioavailable test to be taken up by your tissues. [12]

In plain English? Youll feel more energy, be stronger, have less body fat, and gain muscle faster.

I3Cs benefits dont stop there, though. Upon ingestion, it breaks down into other chemicals in your body. One of them is DIM (diindolylmethane), another compound commonly used in testosterone boosters for its ability to optimize hormone levels.

Asian Ginseng has been shown to improve cognition and mood and keeps your immune system strong too.

Originally used as aprhodisiac and libido booster, Ginseng has recently been found to directly raise testosterone levels as well.

In one study, short-term use of the herb increased both testosterone and DHT, which, as weve seen, is another potent androgen hormone. [13]

Not only that, Ginseng increases the production of luteinizing hormone (LH) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which are essentially pre-cursors to testosterone.

Ginsengs list of benefits is long. It also has the ability to boost nitric oxide levels in your blood, which leads to fuller muscle pumps. To top that off, Ginseng is known for increasing insulin sensitivity, helping you to stay lean and shred weight. [14]

Luteolin is a herbal antioxidant that supports ideal testosterone levels by inhibiting aromatase, an enzyme that turns T into female hormones. [15]

This effect is especially beneficial for men over 30. As your body gets older, its estrogen-to-testosterone ratio increases and is associated with problems such as:

Luteolin helps to keep your testosterone-to-estrogen ratio in a more youthful range, and as a result, makes for a great male virility and vitality ingredient.

Found in a 250mg dosage in Centrapeak,Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a highly effective phospholipid found in your brain cell membranes.

Being the only nootropic with an FDA-approved health claim, PS is best known for reducing cortisol levels (and by extension stress levels), which allows testosterone to flourish.

PS also improves the uptake of glucose in your brain, and protects healthy neurons from the damaging effects of dying neurons. This results in clearer, sharper thinking and reduced levels of inflammation. [16]

Bioperine is a patented black pepper extract standardized to have a minimum of 95% piperine, its main active compound.

Piperine is linked to a variety of health benefits, but its main purpose in Centrapeak is to boost the bioavailability and utilization of the other ingredients. [18]

The inclusion of BioPerine, which is superior to generic piperine sources, is another sign of the effort and investment Centrapeaks producers have put into their flagship testosterone booster.

Boron is another dietary mineral in Centrapeak. Its found in foods such as apriconts, prunes, raisins and brazil nuts.

Boron helps shuttle other minerals such as calcium to where theyre needed in your body. As a result, boron has been heavily linked to improved bone strength in athletes.

In terms of its anabolic properties, boron has been shown to increase free T levels by 14.7% and DHT by 10%, all while reducing testosterones killer SHBG by 9%. [17]

Another study reported an 11.4% increase in testosterone levels after 10mg of boron taken daily for 4 weeks. Needless to say, an impressive result for such a short space of time! [19]

But the most impressive evidence came from another study, which reported a 62% increase in androgen levels in elite athletes. Whats more, they achieved this result by taking only 2.5mg of boron daily for 9 weeks. [20]

Ashwagandha may be a difficult name to pronounce, but it should be your top pick if your goal is hormone optimization.

An adaptogenic herb, Ashwagandha contains several bioactive compounds such as withanolides, steroidal lactones, and fatty acids that are researched for their powerful effects on muscle growth, mood and vitality.

Appropriately, the word Ashwagandha means smell of the horse, which, beyond the smell itself, indicates its unique ability to give you the strength and virility of the animal.

In one study, just 8 weeks of Ashwagandha supplementation led to 15% increases in androgen hormones in weightlifters. They also saw a reduction in muscle damage, which meant faster recovery from tough workouts. [21]

Rhodiola Rosea might just be the best-reviewed supplement in existence.

The herb was used by Vikings to boost endurance and strength. Legendary Himalayan Sherpa used Rhodiola to help them cope with the harsh conditions of Mount Everest. And in far-flung Mongolia, it was traditionally used as an aphrodisiac on a couples wedding night.

Okay The tales are impressive, but what does the science say?

According to research, Rhodiola works to block the effects of stress on the body, primarily by reducing cortisol. As weve seen, cortisol can block your natural testosterone production when chronically elevated. [22]

Theres also evidence that Rhodiola Rosea extract stimulates a glycoprotein that increases blood cell count. This, along with its ability to increase ATP levels (the energy currency of the body), is thought to be behind Rhodiolas anti-fatigue effects. [23]

Mucuna Pruriens (or Velvete Bean) is a male tonic plant high in levodopa (L-DOPA), an effective compound for masculine health and testosterone.

L-DOPA stimulates your brain to spur gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). GnRH then tells your pituitary gland to make more luteinizing hormone (LH), which ultimately results in increased testosterone synthesis in the testes.

Not only that, Mucuna acts as a growth hormone optimizator and mild inhibitor of prolactin, a hormone that diminishes T levels.

To top it off, Mucuna increases your catecholamine brain chemicals. Including the motivation molecule dopamine.

Here are a few things about Centrapeak that we havent seen with many other T boosters.

The recommended dosage for Centrapeak is one capsule, 3 times daily with food.

Old news, truthfully retold. This week we look into reports that claimed the pitch of a voice can give a telltale hint towards future infidelity

Every week the Big Issue looks at tall tales or spurious stories to give you the facts.

This week: Are men with deep voices really more likely to cheat?

Tall, dark and handsome might be the traits that make you swipe right on Tinder. But red-blooded blokes with deep voices can also set pulses racing. The legions of admirers for actor Idris Elba, Vin Diesel and Barry White will attest to that.

However, reports last week suggested that this could be a double-edged sword.

Their voice can make them popular partners perhaps too popular with news stories last week suggesting that men with deep voices are more likely to be unfaithful.

A study carried out by researchers at Southwest University in Chongqing, China, published in thePersonality and Individual Differences journal, attracted plenty of admirers with widespread coverage.

Sky News reported the story under the headline: Men with deep voices more likely to cheat, new research shows and very much set the tone for other media outlets.

Metro, at least, mixed things up a little bit with their effort: Men with deep voices more likely to be unfaithful, research claims.

TheMail Onlinebrought in a new aspect: testosterone. Their headline read: Thats low! Men with deep voices are more likely to cheat on their partners due to higher levels of testosterone, study claims

AndThe Guardiantook a humorous look at the research in their relationships section. They opted for: Sexy but unreliable: why women should beware men with deep voices.

But youd be hard-pressed to find much variation elsewhere in theEvening Standard,The Mirroror AOLs versions of the tale.

But are they accurate?

There is a lot of merit to this study and it does add weight to a long-held theory. But the problem for UK audiences is clear the research only really applies to Chinese university students.

The researchers from Chinas Southwest University found men with deeper voices were less committed to their romantic relationships and more likely to be unfaithful.

In total, 116 male students and 145 female students in relatively short relationships were quizzed. All participants were non-smokers, spoke Mandarin, reported not having a cold and had an average age of 20.

From there, they were all recorded saying the same phrases to determine the pitch of their voice and asked how likely they were to cheat in a relationship.

Researchers concluded that masculine men, as determined by the recordings, are more likely to engage in infidelity and commit less to their romantic relationships compared with feminine men. However, this effect did not exist in women.

That was reported by all of the news outlets whereas the limitations of the study and there are plenty of major ones were less prominently reported or missed out.

Most obviously, the narrow age range and diversity of participants means that the study doesnt mean much to anyone else as researchers acknowledge: their mating dynamics and concept of marriage vary considerably from later adulthood.

Another problem arose in that the study proposed that hormone levels act as a link, inferring that the deep voices suggest high testosterone that factors into attraction levels.

As reported in various stories, researchers concluded: Testosterone and the characteristics dependent on testosterone can be reliable indicators of quality-dependent conditions or behaviourstherefore, men with higher testosterone levels, and hence lower voices, may have more infidelity behaviours or less commitment to their romantic relationship.

This is problematic because researchers did not measure testosterone levels in the study. Nor did they measure actual infidelity taking place, just the intention.

To be fair to the scientists who carried out the work, they are forthcoming that more study is required, including measuring testosterone and widening out participants to reflect different cultures, ages and relationship types and durations. This is even reported in some stories.

But the fact remains that there is nothing in the study to justify the headlines relating to a UK audience, or a global audience for online, when it is primarily about China. While theoretically the findings carry weight, to apply them to UK men is a bit of a cheat.
