Abstract: Background: Vitamin D receptors located on the head and mid piece of a sperm suggest a possible role of vitamin D in male fertility. This study evaluated the association between serum vitamin D levels and semen parameters in subfertile men. Methods: In this prospective observational study, after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 75 subfertile men were included and they underwent semen analysis according to WHO 2021 criteria and serum vitamin D assessment by ELISA assay. Participants were categorized as vitamin D deficient or sufficient and semen parameters were compared. The semen parameters of the males belonging to vitamin D sufficient versus vitamin D deficient group were expressed in terms of Mean ? standard deviation. Student t -test was employed as appropriate, p-value
