Background: The reported prevalence of infertility in Pakistan is 21% of which 35% is contributed by male factor. Male infertility has multifactorial etiologies ranging from modifiable to genetic risk factors. Among all the risk factors that may account for male infertility, obesity is one of the emerging public health problems. Therefore, the aim of the study was to determine the association of obesity with infertility in Pakistani men. Methods: We conducted a case control study. Cases were men with impaired semen parameters and controls did not have impaired semen parameters. Results: The final multivariable logistic regression model after adjusting for the effect of other variables revealed that with every 1 kg/m 2 increase in BMI the odds of being infertile was 6% higher as compared to being fertile (aOR = 1.06; 95% CI = 1.01, 1.11). Moreover the odds of having education of higher secondary or above was 3 times greater among cases as compared with the controls (OR = 3.10; 95% CI = 1.66, 5.77). Furthermore the odds of having previous medical conditions increasing the risk of infertility was higher among cases as compared with the controls (OR = 3.07; 95% CI = 1.63, 5.79). Conclusion & recommendations: This study indicates that obesity is an important risk factor for male infertility. Moreover our findings also indicate that higher educational status and previous medical conditions are also associated with male infertility. Thus awareness can be raised through treating physicians and public health messages.

“…One study of a group composed of 200 couples afflicted by fertility problems in Gezira state, central Sudan, where Tamboul is located, reported that 79.5% of them suffered from "primary infertility" and 20.5% from "secondary infertility". Male-factor infertility was held to account for 20% of these couples, while female-factor infertility accounted for 37.5% of them; couples where both parties were held to have fertility problems represented 31%, and those affected by unknown factors represented 11% (Abdalla, 2011).

The study aims to explain some of the socio-cultural perspectives held by the people of Tamboul on the relationship between the practice of early marriage, which is a common practice, fertility and infertility. On one hand, many Tambouli people perceive early marriage as characteristically indicative of fertility on the one hand where marrying a young wife gives a husband, and parents or extended family, the woman's in-laws, an advantage to have many children. On the other hand, the practice of early marriage is perceived to be as a causal attribution to infertility which partially pertains to consequences such as obstructed labour, physical and psychological traumas incurred by early marriage as reflected in the articulated voices and experiences of the Tambouli people. These voices include the voices of women, married and unmarried; unwed girls; of married men, and professionals such as midwives. Some voices strongly encourage the practice of early marriage as this practice is positively and culturally valued by people, while other voices express the negative consequences of early marriage on young girls.
