Scientists from New Zealand conducted an experiment on mice and found that males age faster and die when exposed to the attractive aroma of female pheromones.

Furthermore, scientists have suggested that this phenomenon may also occur in humans, which could explain why men have shorter lifespans compared to women.

The reason is that the illness has disrupted the blood-brain barrier, which helps prevent pathogenic microorganisms from entering. As a result, the brain becomes more susceptible to what is happening in the body.
