Objective To investigate the correlation between body mass index (BMI),waist circumference (WC)and sperm quality parameters of male infertility.Methods 303 cases of male infertility patients including outpatients and inpatients were selected to measure height,weight and WC,and to group according to BMI standards,and sperm quality parameters of each group were detected simultaneously.Results Overweight,obese and severely obese group sperm concentration had very significant difference compared with normal weight group (t = 3.941,3.782,5.632,P <0.01);Overweight,obese and se-verely obese group total sperm count had significant difference compared with normal weight group (t = 2.117,2.655, 8.591,P <0.05 or 0.01).No difference between the normal weight and low weight group (t=0.668,P >0.05),sperm con-centration and total sperm count decreased with increasing BMI.Low weight group,overweight,obese and severely obese group were higher than normal sperm immobile body recombination,there were significant differences (t = 2.847,8.592, 8.472,5.380,P <0.05).Normal sperm morphology rate of abnormal weight and normal weight groups were significantly lower comparison,the difference was significant (t=2.356,5.968,5.156,5.993,P <0.05).Abnormal body weight of each group of sperm motility and normal weight group were significantly lower comparison,and there were significant differences (t=2.847,8.593,8.472,5.380,P < 0.05).Forward movement rate abnormal and normal body weight of each group re-structuring comparison were significantly lower,and there was a significant difference (t=2.432,11.816,9.588,13.528,P<0.05).Overweight,obese and severely obese group of sperm DNA fragmentation index were higher than the normal weight group,which the data showed a significant differences (t=6.168,7.238,9.309,P <0.05),while there was no statis-tical significance between low weight group and normal weight group (P >0.05).Conclusion Studies showed that the ab-normality of BMI and obesity could cause the changes in sperm parameters which might be an important mechanism of male infertility.
