Background: Male infertility is a growing health problem. It is proposed that infertility is associated with some metabolic abnormalities. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the prevalence of self-reported male infertility and related metabolic disturbances. Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS). A total of 1526 males participated in the study. Logistic regression was used to examine metabolic factors associated with self-reported male infertility. Results: The total prevalence of self-reported male infertility was 6.42%. The mean (SD) body mass index (BMI) of participants among fertile and infertile males was 26.80 (3.93) and 26.92 (4.36), respectively. The majority of participants in both groups were in the age group of 40-50 years old. In the fully adjusted model, the odds of infertility were significantly increased by each unit increase in total cholesterol [TC; odds ratio (OR), 1.01; 95% CI, 1.01 - 1.01; P = 0.03] and hip circumference (HC; OR, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.00 - 1.12; P = 0.02), respectively. Conclusions: The prevalence of self-reported male infertility was 6.42%. Male infertility was positively associated with TC and HC, indicating that knowledge about these risks might assist health care professionals and governments in developing and executing measures to change the status quo.

“…Questionnaires were compared and reviewed by several experts in psychology in terms of appearance of the questionnaire, the use of proper words, and the use of proper grammar. This self-report questionnaire included 20 questions in 4 dimensions including: cognitive dimension (questions of 2,9,12,16,17), physiologic dimension (questions of 1, 4, 5, 6, 14), emotional dimension (questions of 3,11,15,18,20) and behavioral dimension (items of 7,8,10,13,19). The score range of each question was from 0 to 2 points (0 = never, 1 = sometimes, and 2 = always).…”

Background: Infertility has become a serious problem in societies, which may cause inevitable harm to the mental health of individuals. People suffering from their illness may experience increased anxiety if they wait for some time to receive services. Objectives: The present study was conducted to determine the status of waiting anxiety in infertile women. Methods: This descriptive-analytic study was conducted 200 infertile women who consulted the Infertility Center of Yazd for treatment in 2017. The method of sampling was conducted based on convenience sampling (availability sampling). Data were collected with waiting anxiety questionnaire (WAQ). Statistical analysis was done by using SPSS software (version 16.0). The analysis included:(1) descriptive statistics [mean and standard deviation (SD)], (2) chi-square, t-test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results:The total mean of waiting anxiety in infertile women was 20.69 ± 5.82. Based on the results, the mean of the dimensions were as follows: cognitive dimensions (5.31 ± 2.25), physiologic dimensions (5.24 ± 2.55), emotional dimensions (5.01 ± 2.13) and behavioral dimensions (14.32 ± 2.03). The results also showed that a significant relationship between the total mean of waiting anxiety and cognitive, physiology and behavioral dimensions with duration of infertility exists (P < 0.05). In addition, there was a significant relationship between the mean scores of behavioral dimensions with the duration of marriage (P = 0.04) and education (P = 0.015). Conclusions:The results of this study showed that infertile women who consulted to the centers were in a moderate condition in terms of waiting anxiety. Therefore, designing and performing effective interventions to reduce the anxiety of infertile women is recommended.

Background Infertility is a global health problem that represents an increasing trend due to new lifestyles following technological advances since individuals are facing more risk factors than before. The present systematic review study aimed to investigate the impact of environmental and occupational factors on reproductive parameters and increased risk of couple infertility. Main body Scopus, PubMed, SID, and Web of Science databases were searched for the available observational (i.e., cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional) systematic review, meta-analysis, and clinical trial studies between 2007 and 2019. To this end, keywords such as ‘Environmental exposure’, ‘Occupational exposure’, ‘Environmental pollutants’, ‘Environmental pollution’, ‘Couple infertility’, ‘Sterility’, and ‘Sub-fertility’ were used. The retrieved investigations examined the impact of environmental and occupational risk factors on reproductive indices and increased infertility risk. Totally, 66 out of 9519 papers were evaluated after considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The reported risk factors in the reviewed studies were heavy metals, cigarette smoking, and exposure to chemicals through consumer goods, urban life, and proximity to main roads. In addition, occupational factors included heavy physical activity, prolonged sitting, exposure to a hot environment, contact with formaldehyde, pesticides, insecticides, mechanical vibration, and contact with ionizing radiation, all of which affected the reproductive parameters. However, some researchers found no significant associations in this regard. Short conclusion In general, individuals with known impairments in reproductive parameters were more exposed to risk factors. Nonetheless, more studies are needed to determine the risk of infertility in the population.
