Statistically significant at the level .05. Multivariate model adjusted for sexual abstinence, age, smoking, alcohol consumption, past diseases, and creatinine. 1N = 1-naphthol; Coef = ß coefficient; Conc = sperm concentration; DFI = DNA fragmentation index; HDS = high DNA stainability; LIN = linearity; Morph = percentage of sperm with normal morphology; Ref = reference; TCPY = 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol; VCL = curvilinear velocity; VSL = straight-line velocity.
