The impact of lifestyle behaviors on infertility treatment outcome
Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The impact of lifestyle behaviors on fertility is poorly understood, as is the impact of specific behaviors on the advanced reproductive technologies. It is vital for healthcare professionals to understand which lifestyle behaviors can have the greatest negative impact in an effort to improve patient recommendations. The purpose of this article is to review the recent research on this topic. RECENT FINDINGS: The majority of research in this area is epidemiological; there are a few randomized controlled trials (RCTs) regarding weight loss in infertility patients, but no RCTs on other lifestyle behaviors. High or low BMI, alcohol, vigorous exercise, nicotine, and antidepressant medications may have an adverse impact on fertility. It is unclear whether dietary supplements can have a positive impact on fertility. Patients do not appear to follow recommendations for lifestyle behavior modifications during infertility treatment. SUMMARY: Healthcare professionals need to be more effective in making lifestyle behavior recommendations for infertility patients, including those receiving treatment.

Several modifiable lifestyle factors-weight, diet, alcohol, caffeine, physical activity, smoking, and other substance abuse-may influence fertility and the likelihood of live birth in people with infertility.
“Modifiable lifestyle factors such as weight, diet, alcohol intake, caffeine intake, physical activity, smoking, and other substance abuse may affect the chance of people with infertility having a live birth (Homan 2007, Rooney 2014).”

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.
