Correlation of anthropometric parameters, lipid profile and hormone profile of infertile men with semen parameters: A prospective cohort study

Increased weight has been at the cornerstone of female infertility since ages. However, not much weightage has been given to male infertility and factors affecting it. Among those factors, one of the important things to be considered is male weight, anthropometric parameters, and its effect on abnormal semen parameters. To further examine these issues we analyzed the relations of body weight with standard semen analysis parameters, sperm DNA integrity, and serum levels of reproductive hormones in a group of men presenting with their partners for evaluation of infertility.
