abstract = {Infertility affects one in every six couples in developed
countries, and approximately $50\%$ is of male origin. In
2021, sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) testing became an
evidence-based test for fertility evaluations depicting
fertility more clearly than standard semen parameters.
Therefore, we aimed to summarize the potential prognostic
factors of a higher SDF.We conducted a systematic search in
three medical databases and included studies investigating
any risk factors for SDF values. We calculated mean
differences (MD) in SDF with $95\%$ confidence interval (CI)
for exposed and non-exposed individuals.We included 190
studies in our analysis. In the group of associated health
conditions, varicocele (MD = $13.62\%,$ CI: 9.39-17.84) and
impaired glucose tolerance (MD = $13.75\%,$ CI: 6.99-20.51)
had the most significant increase in SDF. Among
malignancies, testicular tumors had the highest impact, with
a maximum of MD = $11.3\%$ (CI: 7.84-14.76). Among
infections, the overall effects of both Chlamydia and HPV
were negligible. Of lifestyle factors, smoking had the most
disruptive effect on SDF - an increase of $9.19\%$ (CI:
4.33-14.06). Different periods of sexual abstinence did not
show significant variations in SDF values. Age seemed to
have a more drastic effect on SDF from age 50 onwards, with
a mean difference of $12.58\%$ (CI: 7.31-17.86). Pollution
also had a detrimental effect - $9.68\%$ (CI: 6.85-12.52).Of
the above risk factors, varicocele, impaired glucose
tolerance, testicular tumors, smoking, pollution, and
paternal age of over 50 were associated with the highest
SDF.CRD42021282533.},
