Talk about lowering the bar, these new measurements are reflecting a more overweight and less active society.
as it says in the artical ....
.....the new range “reflects a difference in average subjects with higher BMIs”

"Testosterone levels decline slowly as men age. But a 2007 study suggests that since 1987, the hormone's levels have fallen in American men independent of age. Researchers measured testosterone levels in 1,532 randomly selected men during three time periods, 1987–89, 1995–97, and 2002–04. There was a slow but steady decline in average testosterone levels over the study period. In all, an average, healthy 65-year-old in 2002 had about 15% less testosterone than a similar 65-year-old in 1987. " - Harvard Health March 2010

Crazy! There must be multiple reason for this. You would think evolutionarily there would be somewhat of an increase but that has changed.
Personally, I think it's the modern lifestyle and circumstances; processed food, stress, environmental factors such as pollutants in the air and water, and a lack of exercise. Maybe even the large quantities of pharmaceutical drugs to treat symptoms rather than addressing the causes of modern maladies.
Yep and seems to be a lot of things that increase estrogen, plastics etc.
I wonder what the correlation between time spent on video games and testosterone levels
Falls into "lack of exercise" I believe, another form of couch potato
