According to Harvard Health Publications, obesity is linked to low testosterone levels in men. A 4-inch increase in waist size increases a man's odds of having low testosterone by 75%, while 10 years of aging increases the odds by 36%

This results in decreased testosterone and increased estrogen levels. The increased estrogen levels can intensify the metabolic effects of estrogen receptor beta.
