National Security Concerns Raised Over Low Testosterone Levels
The Trump administration is warning that a decades-long decline in American men’s health, including low testosterone levels, could have national security consequences. According to Adm. Brian Christine, a senior Department of Health and Human Services official, 77% of Americans ages 17 to 24 do not qualify for military service without a waiver, with obesity, chronic disease, and other barriers contributing to the problem. The Pentagon has issued new screening guidelines for male service members ages 30 and older, with the goal of addressing broader health challenges affecting American men. This development was first reported by FOX 5 New York.
