Lack of interest in sex in men has been linked to early death

According to a recent study, lack of sexual interest may indicate an increased risk of early death among men living in Japan.

The authors of the study studied data from 20,969 people (8,558 men and 12,411 women) aged 40 and older. They reported their libido through questionnaires. Of the original 20,969 subjects, 503 died during the study.

It turned out that cancer mortality and all-cause mortality were significantly higher in men who reported a lack of sexual interest. This association persisted even after adjusting for age, medical conditions, alcohol consumption, etc. In women, there was no significant association between lower libido and mortality.

The researchers suggest that the lack of sexual interest in men may be due to an “unhealthy lifestyle.”
