Healthy dietary patterns improve sperm quality.

(Cao et al., 2022)

There has been a spike in the prevalence of infertility in recent years. The quality of the sperm is a crucial indicator of their fertility, and dietary choices can affect sperm quality.

Cao et al., 2022, a meta-analysis of 6 studies (4 cross-sectional, one prospective cohort, and one randomized controlled trial) included a total of 708 men examined sperm concentration, total sperm count, normal sperm morphology, total sperm motility, progressive sperm motility, and sperm volume. 

Results:

The greater the adherence to a healthy dietary pattern, the significantly higher the sperm concentration, the total sperm count, and the progressive motility of the sperm compared to the lowest level of adherence.
