The Best Way To Increase Sperm Count: What You Need To Know About how to increase sperm count

November 29th

Intelligence and semen quality are positively correlated: Human cognitive abilities inter-correlat e to form a positive matrix, from which a large first factor, called ?Spearman' ;s g? or general intelligence, can be extracted. General intelligence itself is correlated with many important health outcomes including cardio-vascula r function and longevity. However, the important evolutionary question of whether intelligence is a fitness-relate d trait has not been tested directly, let alone answered. If the correlations among cognitive abilities are part of a larger matrix of positive associations among fitness-relate d traits, then intelligence ought to correlate with seemingly unrelated traits that affect fitness?such as semen quality. We found significant positive correlations between intelligence and 3 key indices of semen quality: log sperm concentration (r = .15, p = .002), log sperm count (r = .19, p < .001), and sperm motility (r = .14, p = .002) in a large sample of US Army Veterans.
