Abstract

Objectives: To determine semen quality and reproductive hormone levels in young Faroese men. Design: Descriptive cross-sectional study of Faroese men compared with Danish men. Setting: Faroese one-centre study. Participants: 481 men born from 1981 to 1987 and investigated from 2007 to 2010. Outcome measures: Sperm concentration, semen volume, total sperm count, sperm motility, sperm morphology and reproductive hormone levels. Results: Sperm concentrations for the Faroese men were lower than for the Danish men (crude median 40 vs 48 mill/ml, p
