Abstract

The effects of adult lifestyle--primarily smoking and diet in women, and sedentary habits generally--are important factors affecting the fertility of men and women, and can also impact the fertility of their children. This review summarizes the effects of season, modern lifestyles and environmental chemicals on human fertility, and discusses the implications of these effects for future generations.
