Objective Behavioral and psychosocial factors have been associated with a decline of the quality of semen. However, the relationship of depression and physical activity (PA) with semen quality remains unclear. Methods Data were obtained from 587 young male Chinese college students in June 2013. Participants completed a questionnaire assessing life-style factors, the Zung self-rated depression scale, and three items related to PA. They underwent a physical examination and provided a semen sample and a blood sample for reproductive hormones (testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and prolactin). Results Men with high depression scores (n = 63, 10.7%) had lower sperm concentration (M (SD) = 66.9 (74.5) versus 72.6 (56.9) [106/ml], p = .043) and total sperm count (M (SD) = 241.6 (299.7) versus 257.0 (204.0) [106], p = .024) than nondepressed men. Participants with low PA levels (n = 99, 16.9%) had lower total sperm count (M (SD) = 204.4 (153.7) versus 265.8 (225.8) [106/ml], p = .017) than participants with higher activity levels. After adjusting for potential confounders, depressed men had 18.90% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.14%–33.47%) lower sperm concentration and 21.84% (95% CI = 3.39%–36.90%) lower total sperm count than nondepressed men. Men with low PA levels had 23.03% (95% CI = 2.80%–46.89%) lower total sperm count than physically active participants. An interaction effect between depression and PA on sperm concentration was detected (p = .033). There were no significant associations of depression and PA with reproductive hormones (p > .05). Conclusions Depression and low levels of PA are associated with lower levels of semen quality, which may have implications for reproductive health.
