Somatic diseases (diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, hypertension etc.) get significantly younger. In addition to the medical aspects the environmental factors and food quality may be harmful for reproductive function. The lack of some substances can not only cause discomfort or functional impairment and lead to serious metabolic disturbances including the loss of some functions or the development of pathological conditions that threaten the life of the organism or its reproduction.
