Table 5. Association of semen parameters with volume, sperm concentration, motility, mobility, and normal morphology.
A multiple regression model was used to estimate the P-value, and the regression model was adjusted by the age of the participants. A P-value of <0.05 is considered significant, whereas for the covariate, P < 0.10 is considered as potential effect in the regression model.
*Others (globozoospermia, cryptozoospermia, teratozoospermia, hypo + oligo, hyper + oligo, hyperspermia).
