Abstract: With the postponement of marriage and childbirth age and the opening of the "three child" policy， the reproductive demand of advanced ages is increasing， and reproductive aging has become an important public health issue facing social development. Previous studies have shown that 40~55 years old may be the "watershed" of male fertility during aging. However， compared with female reproductive aging， male reproductive aging lacks distinctive characteristics， and its impact on the elderly men is multifaceted. In this review， we elaborated our understanding of the male reproductive aging from multiple perspectives of aging-related changes in male reproductive endocrine， gonads， and accessory sex glands.
