Semen Quality Linked to Longer Lifespan in Men

https://biohackers.media/semen-quality-linked-to-longer-lifespan-in-men

Study links men's semen quality to increased lifespan, with over 120 million motile sperm correlating to 2-3 years longer life expectancy.

To me it would make much more sense if this was the other way around. In other words, healthy men having higher sperm counts, not higher sperm counts leading to healthy men. Because you the way this study is framed, you could also link heart health to average lifespans.

I think they've purposefully worded it in a way that's less intuitive for more engagement. Obviously there would be many things that would adversely impact both semen quality and lifespan...
