Relationship between semen quality and anthropometric parameters in males

BACKGROUND // Infertility problems affect15% of the world's population, with male factors accounting for up to 30% of cases. The relationship between male infertility and nutritional status remains inconclusive, as most studies rely on BMI without considering other parameters in their evaluatio...
