Over the past decades, paternal age has increased, and attentionhas been drawn to aging effects on male reproductive potential. Thisstudy aims to report the effect of age upon parameters from routinesemen analysis and Computer Assisted Sperm Analysis (CASA) kinematics.In addition, the contribution of obesity, alcohol consumptionand cigarette smoking to age-related abnormalities was evaluated.Semen samples were obtained from men for semen evaluation aspart of routine andrology workup (n=12,183) and CASA (n=5,363)at the Laboratorio de Andrología y Reproducción (LAR), Córdoba.Statistical analyses were done with GraphPad-InStat software.This analysis revealed a negative correlation (P
