Abstrakt: Background: Advancing age is believed to be an important factor that affects various microscopic sperm parameters. Aims and Objectives: This study aimed to find the impact of advancing age on sperm motility, concentration, and vitality. Materials and method: The total collected 190 samples of normozoospermic, oligozoospermic, and necrozoospermic were divided into two categories which are less than 35 and more than 35 years of age. Data of sperm motility, concentration, and vitality were collected in all groups and then compared statistically using an unpaired t-test, and a P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The study showed a significant decrease in sperm motility and vitality with advancing age but sperm concentration was not significantly affected. Conclusion: We concluded that advancing age can be a considerable factor that can affect the microscopic sperm parameters and can be a major cause of male infertility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
