“…Similarly, Qu et al reported a two-fold higher risk of stillbirth in Chinese patients with a low appetite for vegetables who had a spontaneous pregnancy (OR (95% CI): 1.99 (1.00, 3.93)) [58]. Interestingly, according to the results from a recent meta-analysis on the associations between dietary patterns and miscarriage, a high intake of fruit and vegetables is related to a reduction in miscarriage odds of 61% and 41%, respectively (OR (95% CI): 0.39 (0.33, 0.46); OR (95% CI): 0.59 (0.46, 0.769)) [59]. The other two studies reported similar results, finding a significant difference in fruit and vegetable consumption between patients who had live births and patients who experienced miscarriage or premature birth with fetal weight <2.5 kg [60,61].…”

Diet has a key role in the reproductive axis both in males and females. This review aims to analyze the impacts of different dietary patterns on fertility. It appears that the Mediterranean diet has a predominantly protective role against infertility, while the Western diet seems to be a risk factor for infertility. Moreover, we focus attention also on dietary patterns in different countries of the World (Middle Eastern diet, Asian diet). In particular, when analyzing single nutrients, a diet rich in saturated fatty acids, cholesterol, animal proteins, and carbohydrates with high glycemic index is highly associated with male and female infertility. Finally, we evaluate the effects of vegetarian, vegan, and ketogenic diets on fertility, which seem to be still unclear. We believe that comprehension of the molecular mechanisms involved in infertility will lead to more effective and targeted treatments for infertile couples.
