Body fat percentage in relation to semen characteristics, testicular volume, and reproductive hormones: a cross-sectional study
Listen to this summary
This study investigates the relationship between body fat percentage and semen characteristics, testicular volume, and reproductive hormone levels in young men. The authors found that higher body fat percentages were linked to poorer semen quality and altered hormone levels, while no significant association with testicular volume was observed. Notably, the impact of body fat percentage on semen characteristics was stronger than that of BMI and waist-to-height ratio, even among men classified as normal weight by BMI.
