Abstract
STUDY QUESTION:
Are different dietary patterns associated with semen parameters in young men?
STUDY ANSWER: The consumption of a Prudent dietary pattern was significantly
associated with higher progressive sperm motility and unrelated to sperm
concentration and morphology. The consumption of a Western dietary pattern was
unrelated to conventional semen quality parameters. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Over
the past decades there has been evidence of a concomitant decline in sperm and
diet quality. Yet whether diet composition influences semen quality remains
largely unexplored. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION: The Rochester Young Men's
Study (n= 188) was a cross-sectional study conducted between 2009 and 2010 at
the University of Rochester. PARTICIPANTS, SETTING, METHODS: Men aged 18-22
years were included in this analysis. Diet was assessed via food frequency
questionnaire and dietary patterns were identified by factor analysis. Linear
regression was used to analyze the relation between diet patterns and
conventional semen quality parameters (sperm concentration, progressive motility
and morphology) adjusting for abstinence time, multivitamin use, race, smoking
status, BMI, recruitment period, moderate-to-intense exercise and total calorie
intake.
RESULTS:
Two dietary patterns were identified by factor analysis. The 'Western'
pattern was characterized by high intake of red and processed meat, refined
grains, pizza, snacks, high-energy drinks and sweets. The 'Prudent' pattern was
characterized by high intake of fish, chicken, fruit, vegetables, legumes and
whole grains. The Prudent pattern was positively associated with percent
progressively motile sperm in multivariate models (P-trend = 0.04). Men in the
highest quartile of the Prudent diet had 11.3% (95% CI 1.3, 21.3) higher %
progressively motile sperm compared with men in the lowest quartile. The Prudent
pattern was unrelated to sperm concentration and morphology. The Western pattern
was not associated with any semen parameter.
LIMITATIONS:
This was a cross-sectional and observational study, which limited our ability
to determine causality of diet on semen quality parameters. WIDER IMPLICATIONS
OF THE FINDINGS: Our findings support the suggestion that a diet rich in fruits,
vegetables, chicken, fish and whole grains may be an inexpensive and safe way to
improve at least one measure of semen quality. STUDY FUNDING/COMPETING
