ABSTRACT

Background: Overweight in infertile subjects is related to a dis- order in hormone environment affecting reproductive processes of women and men.
Objective: To correlate values of body mass index with sperm parameters of infertile patients attending to Fertility Center IECH.
Patients and method: A prospective and observational study of consecutive patients attending to Fertility Center IECH to be submitted to a spermiogram or sperm capacitation because of infertility, from June 2011 to October 2012. Weight, size and body mass index were measured. Medical history was obtained from each patient; subjects with diabetes, high blood pressure, metabolic diseases and drug intake (steroids, hormones) were excluded.
Results: The only value showing statistic significance in studied population about body mass index was sperm level; however, when doing univariate lineal regression of each variable studied, there were no statistic significant results. However, there was no a significant representation. When doing multiple regression models with each dependent variable, there was no either statistic significance in any model. Smoking was the only factor with statistic significance in the morphology model, according to World Health Organization.
Conclusions: Body mass index had no effect on sperm quality of patients attending to our fertility center. However, this work has to be done in a prospective and multicenter manner with a homogeneous control of studied patients.
