A new study shows a 30 percent fall in fertility since the year 2000.

The quality of Alicante sperm has fallen by 30% since the year 2000. A study carried out on the sperm of Alicante men by the Vistamermosa Clinic shows a 30% reduction in fertility in just seven years, and that the problem is greater among those who work sitting down.

20 Minutos reports that one of the researchers, Mercedes Navarro, said that 1,500 patients were checked to obtain the results, which showed only 10% of men produced sperm which was of a quality recommended by the World Health Organisation.
