Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 11
Abstract
INTRODUCTION:Subfertility affects 15% of the couple who seek to attain a pregnancy and a male contribution is identified in 20-15% of the cases. In majority,no identifiable cause can be detected. The recent trend of overweight and obesity in men of reproductive age is rising at an alarming rate and this study aims to assess the association between BMI, Central obesity, Oxidative Stress and Sperm quality in men visiting infertility clinic. Materials and Methods:286 males between the age20-45 yrs were selected as our subject. They were grouped according to fertility. 155 infertileand 131 fertile males are grouped as A and B respectively. Their BMI and waistcircumference were measured for overweight and central obesity.Their semen were analysed for sperm parameters. Seminal carbonyl protein was measured for evaluation of oxidative stress. Result: BMI was negatively correlated with sperm concentration (SC) and sperm motility (MT) in both groups A and B.
