Decreased sperm concentration and motility in a subpopulation of vegetarian males at a designated blue zone geographic region

      Blue Zone regions identify demographic areas of the world where people have long life spans. This study was conducted in a Blue Zone region where vegetarians consume 3.5 servings of meat substitutes per week. There is a paucity of information on the association between vegetarian diet and male fertility. The premise was that semen parameters were affected by diet. The objective was to compare sperm characteristics of male infertility patients on vegetarian and non-vegetarian diets.
