Every 10 th man suffers from sub- or infertility, and it is an independent risk factor for several chronic diseases. According to Anu Valkna, a Junior Research Fellow in the Chair of Human ...

Long-term exposure to road traffic noise also increased the risk for infertility in men aged 37 to 45 years (HR = 1.06; 95% CI, 1.02-1.11), but this increase was not seen in men aged 30 to 36 years.

Infertile men — especially those without any sperm in their ejaculate — are at increased risk of developing cancer, compared with the general population, according to a new study. The study is ...

The increased risk of PM 2.5 -related infertility in men and noise-related infertility in women were consistent, regardless of whether the individual resided in urban, suburban, and rural areas ...

Infertility was diagnosed in 16,172 men and 22,672 women during an 18-year follow-up period (average of just over 4 years).

The UC dataset included 110,944 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the male infertility dataset included 16,377,329 SNPs.

Studies suggest that approximately 10 to 20 per cent of couples worldwide struggle with infertility, with about 10 per cent of men having issues related to sperm production or health.

Exposure to 10.2 decibel higher average levels of road traffic noise over five years was associated with a 14% increased risk of infertility among women older than 35 years.
