Exposure of environmental Bisphenol A in relation to routine sperm parameters and sperm movement characteristics among fertile men.

ABSTRACT: Although several human studies have examined bisphenol A (BPA) exposure in relation to routine sperm parameters, evidence of BPA's effects on sperm movement characteristics is limited. We examined associations of BPA exposure with sperm parameters including sperm movement characteristics among fertile men. The cross-sectional study was conducted in Sandu County, Guizhou Province, China. Subjects provided semen samples analyzed by computer-aided sperm analysis (CASA) system and urine samples for BPA assay. They were invited to complete an in-person interview with a structured questionnaire to obtain demographics, lifestyle factors, etc. In final analyses, 500 subjects were included. We used multivariate linear regression analyses to estimate associations between BPA and sperm parameters aft
