Abstract Objective: To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of infertile men with metabolic syndrome (MS). Methods: 1118 infertile men were selected and were divided into different groups according to their body mass index (BMI) and age. The incidence of MS of the men was compared among these groups. The risk factors of these infertile men with MS were analyzed. Results: The rate of MS of these 1118 infertile men was 12.0%. The MS rate of the infertile men had increased significantly with BMI increasing (P<0.05). The MS rate (21.2%) of the infertile men with 30-34 years old had significantly increased, and that of the infertile men with more than 30 years old was significant different to that of the infertile men with less than 30 years old (P<0.05). Among the infertile men with MS, the rate of men with overweight or obesity accounted for 100%, and the rate of men with triglyceride level ≥1.7mmol/L accounted for 91.8%. Conclusion: Although men of childbearing age are relatively young, but the MS rate of these men still accounts for a certain proportion. Overweight or obesity is the primary risk factor for infertile men with MS.
