1. Infertility on the rise among UAE in the age group of 20-30 Vitamin D deficiency and Consanguinity are two leading factors contributing to increased infertility amongst young couples in the Middle East Maternal age is the one of the most important factors to help identify a woman's odds of having a baby. According to IVI ​Middle East Fertility Clinic​, recent analysis of the patient demographics reveal patients from the age group of 20 to 30 is increasing exponentially in both, male and female infertility cases. The average percentage from this group is almost 15% of the total patient count, which is the second highest. It is also noted that there has been a steady increase in cases related to female infertility amongst Emirati couples from this age group. Recent research by IVI Middle East counsellors also bring to light the fact that although the largest number of infertility cases are from the age group of 32-38 in the region, the number of cases from the younger age group is catching up too, which is alarming. It is also important to note that majority cases are of female infertility conditions triggered by causes that are specific to the population of this region like consanguinity (marrying within the family) and Vitamin D deficiency. "It seems that Emirati families face increased incidences of infertility. In females, parental consanguinity leads to a low ovarian reserve, and due to rare sun exposure to the skin, vitamin D deficiency is very common. Other factors are unhealthy dietary habits and diabetes. Similarly, male infertility is related to obesity, excessive smoking, and possible steroid consumption for bodybuilding," said Prof. Dr. Human Fatemi, Subspecialist Reproductive Medicine & Reproductive Surgery, Medical Director, IVI​​Middle East Fertility Clinic​. "While consanguinity and vitamin D deficiency are two critical factors that have led to an increase in infertility with the local age group between age 20-30, it has been witnessed that obesity is another very important reason for the increase in such cases amongst the Emirati population," added Dr. Barbara Lawrenz, IVF Specialist, IVI ​Middle East Fertility Clinic​, Abu Dhabi.

It is to be noted that a woman's age is the one of the most important factors determining her chance of pregnancy and a healthy birth because with age, the quality of eggs degrades and quantity of eggs decrease overtime, and the likelihood of miscarriages and birth defects increases. A study of the existing consultations at IVI fertility clinics also shows that if a woman has healthy pregnancies in her 20s or early 30s, it does not mean that her attempt to have another child in her later 30s or 40s will be successful. She may face complications once she touches 35 or more, as the chances of her conceiving naturally are halved compared to her chance in twenties.
