Effects of Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain on Fertility Potential in Lean and Overweight Male Patients

Table 1

The age and BMI (body mass index) of the participants in the study groups. Multivariate two-way analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to compare differences in BMI and age.

	Age (years)		BMI
	Mean ± SD	Median (min, max)	Mean ± SD	Median (min, max)
OP	30.8 ± 9.7	30 (18, 46)	29.7 ± 5.2	27.9 (25.2, 41.4)
OC	26.1 ± 3.8	25 (22, 33)	26.2 ± 1.5	25.6 (25.1, 29.8)
LP	27.6 ± 5.4	26 (19, 36)	23.7 ± 1.3	24.4 (20.9, 24.7)
LC	25.9 ± 6.9	23 (19, 42)	22.4 ± 0.5	22.4 (21.3, 22.9)

BMI: body mass index (kg/m²); OP: overweight with chronic pain; OC: overweight control; LP: lean with chronic pain; LC: lean control (N = 10 per group).
