Infertility is the inability of a couple to achieve pregnancy after 12 months of regular sexual intercourse without protection. Infertility can also occur in men. The causes of male infertility are multifactorial, one of which is obesity. Obesity status in the Asian population is defined as a body mass index of 25 kg/m² or higher. This study aims to determine the relationship between obesity with body mass index measurement and male infertility. This type of research is an analytical cross-sectional study. This research was located at the Kasih Ibu General Hospital Denpasar. Purposive sampling was chosen as the sampling technique. The samples were 50 male patients aged 25-45 years with chief complaints related to infertility, reproductive system disorders, and sexual dysfunction who checked themselves at the Kasih Ibu General Hospital Denpasar between January and December 2020. The Pearson Chi-Square test was used to analyze the data. The results were 26 subjects (52%) with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m² (obese) and 24 subjects (48%) with BMI <25 kg/m² (non-obese). About 28 subjects (56%) were infertile, and 22 subjects (44%) were fertile. This study found that body mass index was significantly associated with infertility in male patients at Kasih Ibu General Hospital Denpasar. Obese men had a 2,308 higher risk of infertility than men who were not obese (p = 0.002, RR = 2.308 (CI95% 1.262-4.220). The study showed a significant relationship between body mass index and the event of male infertility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
