Dietary fat and fatty acid consumptions and the odds of asthenozoospermia: a case-control study in China.

ABSTRACT:

Study question

Are dietary fat and fatty acid (FA) intakes related to the odds of asthenozoospermia?

Summary answer

Plant-based fat consumption was associated with decreased asthenozoospermia odds, while the consumption of animal-based monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) was positively related to asthenozoospermia odds.

What is known already

Dietary fat and FA are significant ingredients of a daily diet, which have been demonstrated to be correlated to the reproductive health of men. However, to date, evidence on fat and FA associations with the odds of asthenozoospermia is unclear.

Study design size duration

The hospital-based case-control study was performed in an infertility clinic from June 2020 to December 2020. Briefly, 549 asthenozoospermia cases and 581 c
