More weight - lower sperm

Scientists have found yet another minus of excess weight - a small number of sperm in the male seed. Young people who are overweight, it is worth considering.

These studies are published in the journal Fertility and Sterility, and they became further evidence that   excess weight   adversely affect the sperm quality . Some recent studies have also confirmed that obese men compared to slimmer have less sperm count   in semen and sperm velocity and consequently their productivity below.

Now, however, scientists have decided to focus on the age of the men in connection with the relationship between overweight and semen quality . The men in the years that quality was worse than the young, moreover, they had more excess fat. However, among the 2000 men who were recent research, it is in obese young people aged 20 to 30, as a rule, sperm count   It was lower than in less complete peers.

However, does it directly on the chances of young people overweight   to become a father, it is not established yet, since the researchers did not draw such conclusions. This was stated study author Dr. Uwe Paah from the University of Leipzig, who believes that the answer to this question requires new data.

"We found that obese people sperm count less - said Dr. Paah. - However, it still fits into the specification approved by the WHO. Therefore, we can not say how this affects their chances of becoming fathers. "
