Dietary Fat Intake and Fecundability in 2 Preconception Cohort Studies.

abstract：:The aim of this study was to determine whether there was a relation between male exposure to pesticides and the amount of time needed to conceive (time to pregnancy) for farmers and agricultural workers in France and Denmark. The authors used retrospective studies to compare the time to pregnancy of couples in which t...
