Several experimental models suggest a link between maternal nutrition during gestation and reproductive function in offspring, but the impact of birth weight on male fertility in adulthood in humans is poorly documented. To study whether birth weight is associated with unexplained male subfertility later in life, we evaluated the relationship between birth weight and sperm parameters in adulthood in white subfertile men, partners of couples with primary idiopathic subfertility, and fertile men recruited within the ALIFERT (Diet and Its Relationship with Couple Infertility) study. Total sperm count, progressive motility, and sperm DNA fragmentation were analyzed in sperm, and metabolic assays were performed on blood. Birth weight was associated with sperm DNA fragmentation and inversely correlated with total sperm count, underlining the importance of the in utero environment for male reproductive function.
