Research question: The aim of this study was to investigate how female age affects the predictive effect of sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) on clinical outcomes with assisted reproductive technology.Design: A total of 2371 patients, comprising 2115 men with a normal DFI (30), 256 men with a high DFI (>30) and women of different ages, were recruited and investigated. All patients had normal chromosome karyotypes and were undergoing their first fresh IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. Clinical outcomes were analysed according to the two DFI groups and female age 30 years. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with clinical outcome.Results: The proportion of couples with at least one good-quality embryo in the DFI 30 group. When female age exceeded 30 years, clinical pregnancy rate and the proportion of couples with good-quality embryos in the DFI >30 group were lower compared with DFI 30, the cut-off value of female age was 30.5 for detecting clinical pregnancy; the sensitivity was 62.0%, and the specificity was 63.6%. Clinical pregnancy rate and proportion of couples with good-quality embryos were lower in the DFI >30 versus DFI
