The University of Bristol research team observed 2438 middle-aged Welsh men and analyzed the association between shaving and coronary artery disease and stroke. Researchers have pointed out that men who don't shave every day are more likely to have heart attacks or strokes. In the 20 year study, 835 people have died. Overall, 45% of those who don't shave daily die, while 31% of those who shave at least once a day die. "It is not that daily shaving leads to a higher number of deaths, which is related to their higher smoking rates and poor living habits, but researchers say this does not explain why they have a higher risk of stroke.".
The research results show that most people who do not shave daily are unmarried and mostly blue-collar workers; They enjoy fewer orgasms, are shorter in stature, and are prone to angina.
Professor Shah Ebrahim of the Department of Social Medicine said in a statement, "People who don't shave regularly have a higher mortality rate, which may be caused by smoking and some social factors, but there are also a small proportion of them affected by hormones."
He said that men who do not shave every day enjoy less orgasm, possibly because their male hormones are low, or simply because they are unmarried, they have fewer opportunities for sexual activity.
As for the high risk of stroke, one possible explanation is that their circulating levels of sexual hormones may affect the degree of fat deposition in the arteries.
The first person to notice a relationship between the speed of beard growth and sexual hormones was a Scot. He worked on a remote island in the Hebrides in western Scotland, and when he learned that he was about to return to Scotland to see his girlfriend, he found his beard growing wildly.
The reporter interviewed Mr. Powell, a consultant on sexual issues in Connecticut, the United States, on this issue. When asked by a reporter if he had done any similar research, he said that although the British study was somewhat innovative, it was indeed very interesting from the perspective of sexual psychology.
Men who don't shave often have a higher prevalence than men who shave every day
Researchers report in the American Journal of Infectious Diseases that 835 people have died in the 20 year study. Overall, 45% of those who don't shave daily die, while 31% of those who shave at least once a day die. "Not that daily shaving is associated with a higher number of deaths, but also with more smokers and poor living habits. Although this does not explain why they have a higher risk of stroke, it also shows that frequent shaving is associated with a higher risk of illness," the researchers said.
