Gulf war veterans have fertility problems
Gulf war veterans are at risk of infertility. Reviewing more than 10 000 Gulf war veterans and more than 7000 matched non-deployed servicemen, Maconochie and colleagues (p 196) found that war veterans were less likely to achieve conceptions or live births than non-deployed servicemen, and pregnancies fathered by veterans not reporting fertility problems took longer to conceive. These results should be interpreted cautiously, say the authors, as this study cannot conclude that the associations are causal.
