Does caffeine affect sperm?

Consumption of >800 mg of caffeine per day resulted in a nonsignificant reduction in semen quality. Semen volume, sperm concentration, total sperm count, and percentage of spermatozoa with normal morphology decreased among cola-drinking men compared with nondrinkers.

tea = 50

cola = 40

Level of daily intake A slight decrease in fecundability among men was found when caffeine drinkers were compared with complete abstainers. Low (≤100 mg caffeine per day) versus high (>100 mg caffeine per day) consumption was also examined; no association with fecundability was observed using this cut-point. Consuming >3 cups of tea per day was associated with decreased fecundability. Smoking, recent OC use, woman’s caffeine and age

Figà-Talamanca, 1996 [26] Not estimated

Cups of coffee per day No consistent association between coffee consumption and sperm count, motility, morphology. High prevalence of atypical forms was observed among men drinking 1-3 cups of coffee/day, but not among those drinking >3. Age, smoking and alcohol

tea = 50

cola (375 ml) = 40

Level of daily intake Heavy caffeine intake (>700 mg/day) among partners was negatively related to fecundability when compared with the lowest intake level (OR adjusted = 0.6, 95% CI, 0.3-0.97). Smoking and alcohol, woman’s caffeine intake

Level of daily intake No adverse effect of caffeine among male smokers. Among nonsmokers, intake of more than 700 mg/d caffeine was associated with a Fecundability Ratio of 0.47 (95% CI 0.26–0.82) among males compared with nonsmokers whose daily caffeine intake was 0 to 299 mg/d. Among nonsmokers, we found no statistically significant associations between fecundability and intake of any specific source of caffeine, but a similar tendency was found for each source as for overall caffeine intake.

Level of daily intake Low (101–200 mg) to moderate (201–800 mg) daily caffeine consumption was not associated with a reduction in semen quality.

Analysed as a linear continuous predictor, was a significant risk factor for multiple gestation: OR = 2.2 (95% CI 1.1-4.4) and OR = 3.0 (95% CI 1.2-7.4) for men who increased their usual intake or intake during the week of initial visit by 100 mg/day.

Cups of coffee per day Cases had a slightly higher mean intake of coffee (cups/day 3.2 ± 4.7 vs 2.9 ± 4.7, p = 0.574).

Level of daily intake No difference between groups (0, 1 or ≥2 cups/day) was observed in term of semen motility and morphology. Lower density was found in the light caffeine group.

Belloc, 2013 [46] Not reported Among caffeine consumers, semen volume was slightly higher (3.2 ± 1.6 vs. 3.1 ± 1.6 ml, p < 0.01) as pH (p < 0.01), but concentration was lower (60.0 ± 90.7 vs. 69.6 ± 124.9 millions/ml, p < 0.01), azoospermia less frequent (2.7 vs. 4.4%, p < 0.01). No relationship was observed for motility and morphology, nor for DNA fragmentation and chromatin decondensation. In a multivariate model including age, results were confirmed for volume (p < 0.01), but not for concentration. Caffeine intake was associated with a lower risk of elevated fragmentation (OR = 0.92, 95% CI 0.92-0.99). n.d.
