Nutritional modifications in male infertility: a systematic review covering 2 decades
Open accessAbstract
CONTEXT: Studies suggest that appropriate nutritional modifications can improve the natural conception rate of infertile couples. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to review the human trials that investigated the relation between nutrition and male infertility. DATA SOURCES: A comprehensive systematic review of published human studies was carried out by searching scientific databases. Article selection was carried out in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. The American Dietetic Association Research Design and Implementation Checklist was also used for quality assessment. DATA EXTRACTION: A total of 502 articles were identified, of which 23 studies met the inclusion criteria. DATA SYNTHESIS: Results indicated that a healthy diet improves at least one measure of semen quality, while diets high in lipophilic foods, soy isoflavones, and sweets lower semen quality. CONCLUSION: The role of daily nutrient exposure and dietary quality needs to be highlighted in male infertility. Mechanistic studies addressing the responsible underlying mechanisms of action of dietary modifications are highly warranted. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: PROSPERO 2013: CRD42013005953.

Diets rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fish, and poultry are linked to better fertility and higher live birth rates in women and improved semen quality in men, while unhealthy diets may have the opposite associations.
“Evidence suggests that adherence to a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fish, and poultry is related to better fertility and higher live birth rates among women and improved semen quality in men, and unhealthy diets may have the opposite effect (Chiu 2018, Gaskins 2018a, Giahi 2016, Grieger 2018, Salas-Huetos 2017, Vujkovic 2010).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
