テストステロンの減少

今日は今年最初の土曜日で、楽しいエスプレッソの一日(笑)もちろんいつも面白いのですが、楽しんで読むことが必ずできるのは土曜日の文化・科学コーナーです。今日の一押しはやはり「テストステロンの減少」でしょう。男性ホルモンとして有名であり、女性にも男性の5%から10%くらいの量があることで、よくジェンダー論などで取り上げられる主題です。

そのテストステロンが男性においてかなりのスピードで減少しているとのこと。15歳から39歳の男性のテストステロンを20年前と比べた時に、1/4 程度の減少が見られるとのこと。面白いのは、テストステロンの減少の意味の解釈である。それは体格やルックスに関する男らしさが減少するだけではなく、健康上悪い影響を与えるという議論を前面に出していることである。
