Male reproductive health
BMC Public Health invites submissions to our new Collection, "Male reproductive health”. Male reproductive health is an essential yet often overlooked aspect of public health that encompasses various factors affecting men's fertility and overall well-being. Issues such as declining sperm counts, poor sperm quality, the impact of environmental exposures and the effects of lifestyle and dietary factors on reproductive outcomes are gaining increasing attention.
This Collection seeks to examine the multifaceted influences on male reproductive health, considering environmental, infectious and sociocultural dimensions that affect male reproductive parameters and contribute to fertility challenges. Continued research in this area could help identify causative factors and contribute to advances in public health policies, ultimately benefiting future generations.
Key topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Environmental pollution and reproductive health
Sperm count trends and implications for fertility
The role of occupational exposures in male fertility
The effects of infectious diseases on sperm parameters
Impact of diet and lifestyle factors on sperm quality and fertility
Psychological factors influencing reproductive health
Interventions for improving male reproductive health
This Collection supports and amplifies research related to Sustainable Development Goal 3- Good Health and Well-Being.
All manuscripts submitted to this journal, including those submitted to collections and special issues, are assessed in line with our editorial policies and the journal’s peer review process. Reviewers and editors are required to declare competing interests and can be excluded from the peer review process if a competing interest exists.

Aging and disability
BMC Public Health is calling for submissions to our Collection on Aging and disability.
Age-related diseases, chronic conditions, and impairments profoundly impact functional change among older adults. The consequences of this are manifold, encompassing diminished independence, reduced quality of life, increased risk of falls and injuries, heightened healthcare utilization, and greater caregiver burden. These factors collectively contribute to the complex challenges faced by individuals, families, healthcare systems, and society at large in addressing the needs of aging populations living with disabilities.
This collection aims to illuminate the multifaceted dynamics of aging and disability by exploring their interplay and implications for individual well-being, healthcare systems, and societal structures. We are particularly interested in receiving submissions which address the following:
• Falls prevention strategies
• Cognitive and physical impairment in aging
• Compression of morbidity and functional disability in aging
• Assistive technologies for elderly independence
• Age-related vision and hearing impairment
• Long-term care services and supports
• Social isolation among older adults with disabilities
• Aging, disability, and mental health
• Rehabilitation approaches for age-related disabilities
• Palliative care for elderly individuals with disabilities
This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being and SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities.
All manuscripts submitted to this journal, including those submitted to collections and special issues, are assessed in line with our editorial policies and the journal’s peer review process. Reviewers and editors are required to declare competing interests and can be excluded from the peer review process if a competing interest exists.
