摘要: We investigated the relationship between psychological stress and sperm concentration, motility, morphometry in a prospective study of 157 volunteers who were enrolled prepaid health plan. measured job life-event by telephone interview. Sperm-kinematic nuclear-morphometric variables using computer-assisted image analyses. Sperm percent semen volume determined objective visual methods. performed multiple linear regression for each variable to examine its stress, controlling potential confounders. Stress at work total number life events not related differences quality. However, recent death close family member was associated with reduction straight-line velocity (P = 0.002) progressively motile 0.02); it also marginally an increase fraction larger more tapered nuclei. These findings suggest that fecundity men experiencing member's might be temporarily diminished.
