Key Points

To evaluate whether sugar-sweetened beverage consumption is associated with semen quality parameters and reproductive hormone concentrations in healthy young men.
Analyzed cross-sectional data from 189 healthy men aged 18–22 years in the Rochester Young Men's Study (2009–2010).
Assessed beverage intake using a validated food frequency questionnaire alongside semen analysis, serum hormone measurements, and physical examinations.
Used multivariable linear regression models to evaluate associations between beverage intake quartiles and reproductive endpoints while controlling for confounders.
Men in the highest intake quartile (≥1.3 servings/day) had 9.8 percentage units lower progressive sperm motility (95% CI: 1.9 to 17.8) than those in the lowest quartile (<0.2 servings/day; P for trend = 0.03).
The inverse association between beverage intake and progressive sperm motility was pronounced in lean men (P for trend = 0.005) but absent in overweight or obese men (P for trend = 0.98).
Sugar-sweetened beverage intake showed no statistically significant relationship with other semen quality parameters or reproductive hormone levels.
