Normal weight does not guarantee fertility
A recent study from Denmark shows that body fat percentage in men is a more accurate indicator of their reproductive health than the body mass index (BMI). The study found that higher body fat levels are associated with a lower sperm count and hormonal imbalances, including decreased testosterone levels. It indicated that men with a body fat percentage between 20 and 24 percent experience an average reduction in sperm count of about 23%, which amounts to approximately 105 million fewer sperm compared to men with normal body fat percentages (8 to 19 percent). The researchers emphasized that measuring body fat percentage can help identify men at risk of declining reproductive health, recommending a healthy lifestyle that includes physical activity, a balanced diet, and stress reduction.
