Interaction between male anthropometric parameters with spermograms

Abstract

To evaluate male body composition data that can be associated with semen analysis parameters. observational, prospective, analytic inferential study. A total of 186 healthy male patients were recruited. We used a bio impedance scale OMRON BF511 for somatometry and after that we classified patients into normal (n=92), high (n=73) or too high (n=85) body fat according to Gallagher et al and Body Mass Index. We analysed the results using a correlation parameter (R.3.4.1) and adjusting with multivariable regression model. The mean age of the male patients was 32 yr, ±6.3, the BMI was 28.56 kg / m2, ±6.2), the total body fat was 28.55%, ±8.4). The mean percentage of visceral fat was 11.1%, ±5.1, muscle (34.1%, ±6.1), basal metabolism rate (1855.73kcal, ± 263.96), and metabolic age (51.08yr, ± 18.02). A slight interaction amongst BMI, Abdominal Circumference, and Age was found with total sperm count (r3 = 0.240) ; sperm vitality was moderately (r3 = 0.424) correlated with basal metabolism, and percentage of visceral fat; Also, we observed less normal Kruger morphology (r2= -.341) with a higher visceral fat percentage; above 9 % in visceral fat (AUROC = 0.647) there was an increased risk of abnormal Kruger morphology. The somatic composition of the male, especially body fat percentage, visceral fat percentage, age, and basal metabolism rate have a mild to moderate interaction with the results of sperm vitality and Kruger morphology. .
