Abstract：Obejective:To investigate the correlation between male sedentary behaviors and sperm quality,assisted reproductive outcomes.Methods:In this prospective cohort study,the recruited patients who underwent assisted reproduction for the first time from January 2021 to October 2022 were divided them into the sedentary group and the non-sedentary group,according to the International Physical Activity Questionnaire(IPAQ)score.And the two groups was matched at ratio of 1:1 used the propensity score matching(PSM)method.General information,sperm quality,and assisted reproductive outcomes were compared between the two groups for six months follow-up.Results:A total of 2 002 participants were included in the study,including 1 052 in the sedentary group and 950 in the non-sedentary group.After the propensity score matching method,there were 857 participants left in each group and their baseline information were equal between the two groups(all P＞0.05).The sedentary group had poorer sperm density and lower fertilization rate than the non-sedentary group(both P＜0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in other indicators between the two groups(all P＞0.05).Conclusions:Long-term sedentary behavior has a certain impact on male sperm quality and assisted reproductive outcomes,suggesting that clinical workers should pay attention to the sedentary problem of patients and do a good job of education or intervention to improve the patients'health behaviors.
