Denmark: (RightNow) Infertility is rapidly increasing, especially among men. Scientists attribute a major cause of male infertility to rising body fat.

A Danish medical study revealed that increased body fat negatively impacts men’s reproductive health. Conducted by Aarhus University, the study included 1,058 men.

According to the research, a rise in body fat can reduce sperm count by up to 23%. Higher fat levels also increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes.

Published in the journal Human Reproduction, the study emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy body weight for reproductive health. Researchers stressed the need to reduce body fat.

It is noteworthy that the World Health Organization reports that 17.5% of the global adult population faces infertility at some stage. This issue poses a significant medical challenge worldwide.
