Indeed, increased exposure to environmental pollutants may directly reduce male fertility and increase male reproductive abnormalities. Now, research being led by Rovira i Virgili University will begin studies in Men designed to provide robust answers to what were previously only unsubstantiated rumours. This is the objective of <strong>LedFertyl <\/strong>or \u2018Lifestyle and Environmental Determinants associated with the seminogram and other parameters related to male FERTilitY\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><strong>25% of couples have problems having children.<br \/>\n<\/strong>According to the World Health Organization (WHO),\u00a0<strong>25% of couples (that is, one-in-four) have problems having children.<\/strong> In fact,\u00a0<strong>infertility affects approximately 15% of the world\u2019s population<\/strong>, with male factor infertility being responsible for almost 50% of these cases. Over the last 40 years,\u00a0male <strong>infertility problems have been increasing<\/strong>, but the causes are unknown. \u201cSperm quality, especially in developed and industrialized countries, has decreased by 40% since 1970,\u201d says Harvard researcher and study collaborator<strong>\u00a0Albert Salas<\/strong>, adding that this situation in practice \u201cmeans that couples have more difficulties when it comes to having children\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LedFertyl, an international study of Reusenc origin, <\/strong>involving researchers from the Nutrition Unit of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili want to put a stop to this decline in male fertility. LedFertyl is an international study that <strong>begins in Reus, but is being replicated in Girona, Mallorca, the United States, Poland and the UK.<\/strong> A total of <strong>600 male volunteers are being asked to participate<\/strong>\u00a0with the aim of demonstrating that environmental pollution and lifestyle directly affect semen quality. Thanks to this study, and according to the researcher of the Human Nutrition Unit of the URV,\u00a0<strong>Mar\u00eda Fern\u00e1ndez<\/strong>, \u201cit will be possible to improve the situation in which many couples find themselves when it comes to having children\u201d and that nowadays \u201cthey don\u2019t know what is happening to them\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>To meet this grand challenge for the age, <strong>citizen collaboration<\/strong> is requested.<br \/>\nThe researchers would like Men <strong>between 18 and 40 years of age\u00a0<\/strong>who want to help progress reproductive science, to come forward. They are only required to fill out a form and make a single medical visit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information <\/strong>you can call <strong>977 75 93 11<\/strong> or send an e-mail to <strong>ledfertyl.nutricio@urv.cat<\/strong><\/p>\n<header class=\"article__header\"><\/header>\n<div class=\"block social-share__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"social-share\">\n<div class=\"social-share__item social-share__email\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-23h0r-04b673ca67a408a5fecbcdae5d059e83\">\n.flex_column.av-23h0r-04b673ca67a408a5fecbcdae5d059e83{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-23h0r-04b673ca67a408a5fecbcdae5d059e83 av_one_third  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_hr  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lrrkej5d-06654a5ad9aebb1425a29dbdb48812c4 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><header class=\"article__header\">\n<p class=\"article__date\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 36pt;\">2023<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"block social-share__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"social-share\">\n<div class=\"social-share__item social-share__email\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/p>\n<div  class='hr av-jxwc3-391f83477987634526469fe55a7d3234 hr-default  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_one_third '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-okaaz-986e60a958ed872feb6bf448f3d1cc88\">\n.flex_column.av-okaaz-986e60a958ed872feb6bf448f3d1cc88{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-okaaz-986e60a958ed872feb6bf448f3d1cc88 av_one_third  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_two_third  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lps3pfsk-f6c00b2c23744c8f51ad4f0c7df7fe8f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8785 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/ledfertyl.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/steven-van-loy-oUhSla4L_98-unsplash-1024x683-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ledfertyl.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/steven-van-loy-oUhSla4L_98-unsplash-1024x683-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ledfertyl.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/steven-van-loy-oUhSla4L_98-unsplash-1024x683-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ledfertyl.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/steven-van-loy-oUhSla4L_98-unsplash-1024x683-1-705x470.jpg 705w, https:\/\/ledfertyl.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/steven-van-loy-oUhSla4L_98-unsplash-1024x683-1.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/diaridigital.urv.cat\/contaminants-organics-en-lesperma\/?tv=sp\">read more about the news<\/a><\/p>\n<header class=\"article__header\"><\/header>\n<div class=\"block social-share__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"social-share\">\n<div class=\"social-share__item social-share__email\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-fmcsr-7da5b29316ae6536f3caca0df99bb044\">\n.flex_column.av-fmcsr-7da5b29316ae6536f3caca0df99bb044{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-fmcsr-7da5b29316ae6536f3caca0df99bb044 av_two_third  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_one_third  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-9dr5f-527f23957c0f627f54204ed51dfc2f1e '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Font: Diari Digital URV- 21\/11\/2023<br \/>\n<strong>STUDY DETECTS ORGANIC CONTAMINANTS IN THE SPERM OF HEALTHY MEN<\/strong><br \/>\n<a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/diaridigital.urv.cat\/contaminants-organics-en-lesperma\/?tv=sp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener\">https:\/\/diaridigital.urv.cat\/contaminants-organics-en-lesperma\/?tv=sp<\/a><br \/>\nAn innovative methodology developed by IDAEA-CSIC and the Universitat Rovira i Virgili analyzes more than 2,000 chemical compounds potentially harmful to male fertility.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bibliographic reference:<\/strong><br \/>\nS\u00e1nchez-Resino E, Marqu\u00e8s M, Guti\u00e9rrez-Mart\u00edn D, Restrepo-Montes E, Mart\u00ednez M\u00c1, Salas-Huetos A, Babio N, Salas-Salvad\u00f3 J, Gil-Solsona R, Gago-Ferrero P.

There are multiple causes that could explain the decrease in fertility in men: environment and lifestyle, environmental pollution, tobacco and\/or alcohol consumption, lack of physical activity, stress and unhealthy diets seem to contribute greatly to the reduction of male fertility. However, no study has evaluated all these factors together at the same time. Now, a research group from the Human Nutrition Unit and the Laboratory of Toxicology and Environmental Health (TecnATox) of the URV are leading the LED-FERTYL study (Lifestyle and environmental determinants of seminograms and other male fertility related parameters), which is now in the recruitment phase of male volunteers between 18 and 40 years old.<br \/>\nThe research will focus on studying sperm quality parameters such as concentration, motility and morphology in 600 volunteers. The recruitment of volunteers and the study of samples will be done in a coordinated manner and following the same protocol in Reus, Tarragona, Balearic Islands, United States and Poland. The results of this work were to explain how different lifestyle factors, including diet, sedentary lifestyle and exposure to various environmental pollutants &#8211; with endocrine disruption potential &#8211; can affect fertility.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/biotech-spain.com\/en\/articles\/un-estudio-internacional-analizar-c-mo-el-estilo-de-vida-y-los-factores-ambientales-afectan-a-la-infertilidad-masculina\/\">http:\/\/biotech-spain.com\/en\/articles\/un-estudio-internacional-analizar-c-mo-el-estilo-de-vida-y-los-factores-ambientales-afectan-a-la-infertilidad-masculina\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"block social-share__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"social-share\">\n<div class=\"social-share__item social-share__email\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-qjtx7-dbc2efd846fc7d562a6d7b957a703aa2\">\n.flex_column.av-qjtx7-dbc2efd846fc7d562a6d7b957a703aa2{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-qjtx7-dbc2efd846fc7d562a6d7b957a703aa2 av_one_third  avia-builder-el-52  el_after_av_two_third  el_before_av_hr  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-ln8nhjkn-e0b2323616b44ee0e6a0310c8350cf21 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-8290 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ledfertyl.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_5914-1024x558-1-300x163.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ledfertyl.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_5914-1024x558-1-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ledfertyl.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_5914-1024x558-1-768x419.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ledfertyl.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_5914-1024x558-1-705x384.jpg 705w, https:\/\/ledfertyl.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_5914-1024x558-1.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<header class=\"article__header\"><\/header>\n<div class=\"block social-share__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"social-share\">\n<div class=\"social-share__item social-share__email\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<div  class='hr av-msst7-be889c1916b8eb0f076252348e7244d1 hr-default  avia-builder-el-54  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_one_full '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-jiuo3-240437d7df3e214e59b91f8783749a6b\">\n.flex_column.av-jiuo3-240437d7df3e214e59b91f8783749a6b{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-jiuo3-240437d7df3e214e59b91f8783749a6b av_one_full  avia-builder-el-55  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_three_fourth  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-ln1vv3y0-2207cae48aefd7cf3dc4de4b7138940f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><header class=\"article__header\">\n<p class=\"article__date\">Font: Aguaita.cat- 17\/11\/2020<br \/>\n<strong>URV seeks volunteers to analyze the origin of male infertility<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>An international study will analyze the influence of lifestyle and environmental factors<br \/>\n<\/strong>Infertility affects approximately 15% of the world&#8217;s population and male factors are responsible for 40-50% of these cases.
