A study on the association of body mass index and anthropometry, blood, seminal, and hormonal profile of infertile and fertile males: baseline data

Background: Globally, people are drastically changing lifestyle behaviors include, unhealthy eating habit, physically inactive and poor sleep quality leads to accumulation of fat in the body including abdomen obesity it is one major risk factors for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) male infertility. Methods: This randomized control trail conducted 80 participants, were divided into four groups include non-obese infertile, obese fertile based on mass index (BMI) semen parameters. The anthropometry, blood, seminal hormonal parameters was analyzed. Association BMI with study parameter analyzed by Pearson’s correlation. Results: Correlation analysis between anthropometry age (r=0.14), weight (r=0.85), waist circumference (r=0.81), systolic blood pressure (BP) (r=0.14) diastolic BP (r=0.16) shows positive association. Similarly, fasting sugar (FBS) (r=0.44), postprandial (PPBS) (r=0.33), glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) (r=0.45), cholesterol (r=0.28), triglycerides (r=0.32) show correlation contrast high density lipoprotein (HDL) (r=-0.02) negative Pearson that volume (r=-0.25), count (r=-0.34), motility (r=-0.38) follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) (r=-0.07), luteinizing (LH) (r=-0.20), testosterone (r=-0.33) vitamin D (r=-0.16) It observed stress can also mainly cause higher imbalance. Conclusions: results present concluded factor directly influence Thus, be used as potential marker assess tested variables study.
