Article Synopsis
- Sperm DNA integrity is essential for fertilization and embryo development, yet it is often not assessed in clinical settings; this study analyzed 1191 sperm samples to explore various factors impacting DNA fragmentation.
- The findings revealed that older men tend to have higher sperm DNA fragmentation, with significantly elevated levels observed in spring and summer, and rural patients exhibiting more fragmentation than urban ones.
- Notably, body mass index did not correlate with sperm DNA quality, and epileptic patients showed increased DNA fragmentation levels; overall, age was the strongest factor, with a consistent yearly increase in fragmentation observed between ages 19 to 59.
