Approximately 17.5% of the adult population has experienced infertility, and this can cause significant stress, stigma from the community, disrupt financial capabilities, and affect mental health and psychosocial relationships in general. Sperm motility plays a crucial role in the fertilization of an egg by sperm. A fit body contributes to good sperm motility. A healthy body is supported by an ideal weight and height, as reflected in the body mass index (BMI). This study aims to determine the relationship between BMI and human sperm motility. This study used a cross-sectional method with a correlational analytical approach. Subjects were obtained through secondary data, including weight, height, and sperm motility data from infertile patients visiting the Duta Sehat Mataram Pharmacy. A total of 60 subjects were recruited, of which 16 cases were excluded, four with azoospermia and 12 with varicocele. The data were analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. In this study, 70.4% of cases were overweight, 27.3% were normal, and 2.3% were underweight from 44 data sets that met the inclusion criteria. Based on data analysis, there was no significant relationship between body mass index and human sperm motility. The Spearman correlation test showed p = 0.338 (p>0.05) and a correlation coefficient of -0.148. This study evaluated the relationship between men's body mass index and sperm motility, with results showing a weak trend and no statistically significant association.
