Correlation between Lifestyle Factors and Sperm DNA Fragmentation in Infertile Men
Abstract: Background: The sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) is regarded as an important tool but its role in evaluating male infertility still remains controversial. The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation between sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) with semen parameters and lifestyle patterns. Methods: In our retrospective study which was conducted at the Institute of Reproductive medicine and women health, Madras medical mission, Chennai from 2019-2023, 120 males with subfertility undergoing treatment were included. DFI was measured using the sperm chromatin dispersion assay (SCD) and based on the results they were divided into 3 groups: Low-DFI ?15%, medium DFI-15%
