Abstract

Objective: Body mass index (BMI) has been demonstrated to impact fertility. Females with a BMI >25 typically are insulin resistant, suffer from PCOS and have a poor fertility prognosis. Those undergoing ART therapy typically require larger gonadotropin dosages and produce fewer mature oocytes plus have a higher incidence of miscarriages. Men with high BMI values present with lower numbers of normal-motile sperm cells. However, the impact of BMI on sperm chromatin integrity is unknown. Therefore the study objective was to determine the relation between BMI and sperm chromatin integrity.
