An estimated 1 in 6 people globally is affected by infertility, according to a new report from the World Health Organization
Rates of infertility – defined as not being able to conceive after a year of having unprotected sex – are similar across all countries and regions, Monday’s WHO report says. “In our analysis, the global prevalence of lifetime infertility was 17.5%, translating into 1 out of every 6 people experiencing it in their lifetime,” Dr. Gitau Mburu, a scientist of fertility research at WHO, said Monday. “Lifetime prevalence of infertility does not differ by income classification of countries,” he said.
“We cannot, based on the data we have, say that infertility is increasing or constant – so we must say that probably the jury is still out on that question.” Over time, various factors can affect a person’s fertility, and age is one of the most important, said Dr. Emre Seli, chief scientific officer for the maternal and infant health nonprofit March of Dimes.
