The linked abstract says nothing of the sort. What you fail to mention about the video is that the 70% of hypogonadal men with diabetes, obesity or metabolic syndrome are already in the subcategory of secondary hypogonadism, with no mention of concurrent primary. If overweight and obesity had substantive links to primary hypogonadism then you'd think they would make the lists of causes. Still awaiting tangible support for your claim.

Causes of primary hypogonadism include:

• Certain autoimmune disorders
• Genetic and developmental disorders
• Infection
• Iron excess (hemochromatosis)
• Liver and kidney disease
• Radiation (to the gonads)
• Surgery
• Trauma

Acquired conditions that affect your testicles and can lead to primary hypogonadism include:

• Testicle injury or removal.
• Orchitis, which is inflammation of one or both testicles. This is most often the result of a bacterial infection, such as a sexually transmitted infection, but it can be due to viral infections, such as mumps.
• Chemotherapy or radiation therapy to your testicles.
• Certain types of tumors.
• Anabolic steroid use.
