A beer belly reduces a man’s chances of becoming a father by almost half, a study suggests. Harvard research shows that every extra two inches on a man’s waist cut his odds of having a baby by nearly 10 per cent. Professor Charles Kingsland, clinical director of Care fertility clinics, said: ‘Pot-bellied men, beware.’US doctors weighed and measured almost 180 men and women before they started IVF. The average man’s waistline is 38.2 inches (97.1cm ) – 1.5 inches bigger than in 1993. Fertility experts said the warning about beer bellies doesn’t just apply to men having IVF.
