چکیده

مقدمه: باروری یعنی توانایی برای داشتن فرزند، به‌عنوان یکی از علل تشکیل خانواده می‌باشد. عوامل متعددی می‌توانند بر روی توانایی باروری افراد مؤثر باشند. ریزمغذی‌ها برای فعالیت‌های آنابولیک و کاتابولیک بدن ضروری هستند، در نتیجه می‌توانند یک عامل مؤثر بر روی توانایی باروری افراد باشند. لذا مطالعه مروری حاضر با هدف تعیین نقش ریزمغذی‌ها در باروری مردان و زنان انجام شد.
روش‌کار: در این مطالعه مروری جهت یافتن مقالات مرتبط پایگاه‌های فارسی Magiran، SID و پایگاه‌های انگلیسیPubmed ،Scopus ،SID Elsevier ، Web Of Sciences و موتور جستجوی Google Scholar با استفاده از کلید واژه­های انگلیسی شامل: Infertility، fertility Infertility، Fertility، Male Infertility، Semen، Semen Parameters، Systematic Review، Clinical Trial، Case-Control، Female Infertility، Micronutrients، ‌Vitamin A، Vitamin B، ‌Vitamin C‌، Ascorbic Acid، Vitamin D، Vitamin E، Antioxidants، Folic Acid، Zinc و معادل فارسی آنها در بازه زمانی 2020-1990 مورد جستجو قرار گرفتند. مطالعات متعدد به شیوه کمی و کیفی که از لحاظ محتوا با هدف مطالعه حاضر قرابت داشتند، انتخاب و مورد بررسی قرار گرفتند.
یافته‌ها: از بین 1052 مقاله، 22 مورد از مرتبط‌­ترین آنها با هدف مطالعه حاضر انتخاب و مورد بررسی قرار گرفتند. نتایج حاصل از مرور مطالعات نشان داد مصرف ریزمغذی‌ها شامل ویتامین D، E، C، A، روی، ید، سلنیوم، فولات و اسیدچرب امگا-3 می‌توانند در بهبود شاخص‌های باروری زنان و مردان نقش داشته باشند و کمبود هر کدام از این موارد در زنان و مردان نابارور مشاهده شده است.
نتیجه‌گیری: با توجه به اینکه تغذیه افراد به غذاهای آماده و سبک زندگی به زندگی بدون تحرک پیش رفته است و در نتیجه عدم تأمین نیازهای ضروری بدن برای فعالیت‌های اساسی رخ می‌دهد، به‌نظر می‌رسد توصیه به مصرف ریزمغذی‌ها در زنان و مردان می‌تواند از بسیاری از مشکلات باروری جلوگیری کند و سبب کاهش هزینه درمان موارد ناباروری شود.

چکیده [English]

Introduction: Fertility means the ability to have a child that is one of the causes of family formation. Several factors can affect fertility. Micronutrients are essential for the body's anabolic and catabolic activities, so they may be effective factors on fertility. Therefore, this study was conducted with aim to determine the role of micronutrients in male and female fertility.
Methods: In this review study, the Persian databases of Magiran, SID and the English databases of Pubmed, Scopus, SID, Elsevier, Web Of Sciences and the Google Scholar search engine were searched using the English keywords of Infertility, fertility Infertility, Fertility, Male Infertility, Semen, Semen Parameters, Systematic Review, Clinical Trial, Case-Control, Female Infertility, Micronutrients, Vitamin A, Vitamin B, Vitamin C, Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Antioxidants, Folic Acid, Zinc and their Persian equivalents in the period of 1990-2020. Numerous quantitative and qualitative studies that were similar to the present study in terms of content were selected and evaluated.
Results: Among 1052 articles, 22 studies which were more related to the aim of the present study were selected and evaluated. The results of reviewing the studies showed that the consumption of micronutrients including vitamins D, E, C, A, zinc, iodine, selenium, folate and omega-3 fatty acids can play a role in improving male and female fertility parameters. Deficiency of each of them has been seen in infertile men and women.
Conclusion: Since nutrition has moved towards ready meals and lifestyle has moved towards a sedentary life and as a result, the body does not meet the essential needs for basic activities, it seems that the recommendation to consume micronutrients in men and women can prevent many fertility problems and reduce the cost of infertility treatment.
