Abstract

Background: Male infertility is a growing health problem. It is proposed that infertility is associated with some metabolic abnormalities.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the prevalence of self-reported male infertility and related metabolic disturbances.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS). A total of 1526 males participated in the study. Logistic regression was used to examine metabolic factors associated with self-reported male infertility.

Results: The total prevalence of self-reported male infertility was 6.42%. The mean (SD) body mass index (BMI) of participants among fertile and infertile males was 26.80 (3.93) and 26.92 (4.36), respectively. The majority of participants in both groups were in the age group of 40-50 years old. In the fully adjusted model, the odds of infertility were significantly increased by each unit increase in total cholesterol [TC; odds ratio (OR), 1.01; 95% CI, 1.01 - 1.01; P = 0.03] and hip circumference (HC; OR, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.00 - 1.12; P = 0.02), respectively.

Conclusions: The prevalence of self-reported male infertility was 6.42%. Male infertility was positively associated with TC and HC, indicating that knowledge about these risks might assist health care professionals and governments in developing and executing measures to change the status quo.

自我报告的男性不育症和代谢紊乱:一项横断面研究。

背景:男性不育是一个日益严重的健康问题。有人认为不孕症与某些代谢异常有关。目的:本研究旨在调查自我报告的男性不育症和相关代谢紊乱的患病率。方法:这是德黑兰脂质和葡萄糖研究(TLGS)的横断面分析。共有1526名男性参与了这项研究。使用Logistic回归来检查与自我报告的男性不育症相关的代谢因素。结果:自述男性不育症总患病率为6.42%。可育男性和不育男性的平均体重指数(BMI)分别为26.80(3.93)和26.92(4.36)。两组的大多数参与者年龄在40-50岁之间。在完全调整模型中，总胆固醇每增加一个单位，不孕的几率显著增加[TC;优势比(OR)， 1.01;95% ci, 1.01 - 1.01;P = 0.03]和臀围(HC;或者,1.06;95% ci, 1.00 - 1.12;P = 0.02)。结论:自述男性不育症患病率为6.42%。男性不育与TC和HC呈正相关，表明了解这些风险可能有助于卫生保健专业人员和政府制定和执行改变现状的措施。
