Relationship between healthy lifestyle score and infertility in Iranian men: a population-based case-control study
This study revealed that a combined healthy lifestyle score, rather than individual factors including dietary intakes, dietary habits, sleep quality, physical activity, smoking, depression status, anxiety status, and psychological distress, was associated with lower odds of infertility in Iranian men, especially among those with normal weight, suggesting that adherence to a healthy lifestyle pattern can be considered a management strategy for infertility.
