Although the causes of recurrent pregnancy loss are often unknown, chromosomal defects and fetal anomalies account for a significant proportion of cases. Previous research has primarily focused on maternal factors, but recent attention has shifted to the role of male lifestyle factors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study examined how male lifestyle factors and chronic illnesses affect recurrent pregnancy loss in a Danish cohort. Objectives included analyzing demographic and clinical features, as well as assessing lifestyle factors and pregnancy outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We included 741 males referred to the Danish recurrent pregnancy loss unit between 2009 and 2021, alongside a control group of 1173 males from the PREGCO study. Data on demography, clinical features, lifestyle factors, and pregnancy outcomes were collected and analyzed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The recurrent pregnancy loss group had a higher mean age compared to the controls. Although there was a trend suggesting a higher prevalence of obesity in the recurrent pregnancy loss group, statistical significance was not reached. The prevalence of chronic illnesses was similar in both groups. In the recurrent pregnancy loss group, a higher body mass index and history of previous or current smoking were associated with a lower pregnancy rate, and men who never smoked had an increased likelihood of achieving pregnancy. However, these associations lost significance after adjusting for potential confounders.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study suggests an association between male obesity and smoking, and decreased pregnancy rates after referral for recurrent pregnancy loss. However, further research is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms and establish causality in this association.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study reveals potential associations between male smoking, male obesity, and reduced pregnancy rates in individuals referred for recurrent pregnancy loss. These findings emphasize the importance of considering male lifestyle factors in the evaluation and management of recurrent pregnancy loss.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/andr.13764","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,8]],"date-time":"2024-10-08T03:05:33Z","timestamp":1728356733000},"page":"151-158","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Is lifestyle different in male partners experiencing recurrent pregnancy loss compared to men fathering a live birth?"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-8748-6213","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Johanna","family":"Lindman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Copenhagen University Hospital Hvidovre  Hvidovre Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kilian","family":"Vomstein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Unit, The Capital Region Copenhagen University Hospitals Hvidovre Hospital Hvidovre &amp; Rigshospitalet  Copenhagen Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology The Fertility Clinic Copenhagen University Hospital Hvidovre  Hvidovre Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pia","family":"Egerup","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Copenhagen University Hospital Hvidovre  Hvidovre Denmark"},{"name":"Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Unit, The Capital Region Copenhagen University Hospitals Hvidovre Hospital Hvidovre &amp; Rigshospitalet  Copenhagen Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2110-0479","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Christine","family":"Krog","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Unit, The Capital Region Copenhagen University Hospitals Hvidovre Hospital Hvidovre &amp; Rigshospitalet  Copenhagen Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Immunology Copenhagen University Hospital Rigshospitalet  Copenhagen Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Henriette Svarre","family":"Nielsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Unit, The Capital Region Copenhagen University Hospitals Hvidovre Hospital Hvidovre &amp; Rigshospitalet  Copenhagen Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology The Fertility Clinic Copenhagen University Hospital Hvidovre  Hvidovre Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine University of Copenhagen  Copenhagen Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/hropen\/hoad002"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","unstructured":"Danish Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology.Abortus habitualis (AH)\u2014udredning.
