The study evaluates the association between caffeine, alcohol consumption and fertility treatment outcomes
A recent analysis published in Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica found no association between women's caffeine consumption and pregnancy or live birth rates after fertility treatments, but women's alcohol consumption was associated with a reduced pregnancy rate after treatments when weekly consumption exceeded 84 g (approx. standard drinks). Additionally, men's alcohol consumption was associated with reduced live birth rates after fertility treatments in women when weekly consumption was more than 84 g. All relevant studies published before July 15, 2022 were included in the analysis. A total of 7 studies on caffeine consumption and 9 studies on alcohol consumption were included, with...
The study evaluates the association between caffeine, alcohol consumption and fertility treatment outcomes
A recent analysis published in Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica found no association between women's caffeine consumption and pregnancy or live birth rates after fertility treatments, but women's alcohol consumption was associated with a reduced pregnancy rate after treatments when weekly consumption exceeded 84 g (approx. standard drinks).
Additionally, men's alcohol consumption was associated with reduced live birth rates after fertility treatments in women when weekly consumption was more than 84 g.
All relevant studies published before July 15, 2022 were included in the analysis. A total of 7 studies on caffeine consumption and 9 studies on alcohol consumption were included, with a total of 26,922 women and/or their spouses who underwent fertility treatment.
Compared to abstainers, the odds of pregnancy after fertility treatment decreased by 7% in women who consumed 84 g of alcohol per week, and the chance of partners achieving a live birth decreased by 9% in men who consumed 84 g of alcohol per week.
"Couples should be aware that some modifiable lifestyle factors such as drinking habits can affect the results of their fertility treatment. But how these factors affect the reproductive system still needs to be studied in more detail," said corresponding author Yufeng Li, MD, of Tongji Hospital China.
