Author(s): Cuntong Wang* and Yfdihe WangDing
Background: The influence of anthropometric characteristics on cognitive function is under-investigated. This study explores the association between penile length and Intelligence Quotient (IQ) in a large, global sample of adult males.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using data from 115,387 men aged 18-65 years across 139 countries.

Partial correlation and regression analyses were employed to establish interethnic variations.
Results: A statistically significant negative correlation was observed between flaccid penile length and IQ (p<0.001). Men with shorter penile lengths .. View More»
