Men who were overweight as children are likely at higher risk for infertility, a recent study suggests.
To investigate the impact of obesity-related metabolic disorders on testicular growth, scientists at the University of Catania in Sicily looked at health records from 268 boys aged 2 to 18 years old. The boys had all been referred to the institution for weight control. Among them were 62 boys who had a normal weight, 54 who were overweight, 79 who were obese, and 73 who were severely obese.
