Men with large testicles are more likely to develop heart disease, new research has revealed.

They are also more likely to be hospitalised with heart problems and tend to be heavier, drink more alcohol, and to have higher blood pressure.

Researchers at the University of Florence believe that their findings could suggest that having large testicles is a sign of ill health, and that it could be used as a way of predicting heart disease risk.

However they did not go as far as specifying what constituted 'large' testicles.

Giulia Rasterelli, who led the study, told The Telegraph: ‘Although it is generally assumed that testis size can predict reproductive fitness, our results indicate that this objective parameter can provide insights also on overall health and cardiovascular disease risk.

‘Further studies are needed for clarifying determinants and mechanisms of testis enlargement that could mediate the increased incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events.’

The scientists studied 2,809 men who attended sexual health clinics.

They recorded the size of the men’s testicles and tested their hormone levels before tracking their health for seven years.

Seriously? Further proof that priority setting in scientific research is about equivalent to men snapping towels at each other in the locker room. What a waste of limited funds

Hey, we do that for free.
