The number of individuals affected by reproductive disorders is difficult to assess, and few population-based data are available for either men or women. Noticeably absent are data on fecundity and fertility impairments affecting men and only limited information on male-mediated developmental outcomes exists. Population-based data for impaired female fertility are available for select endpoints from the National Surveys of Family Growth (NSFG), which are conducted periodically and most recently in 1995. Data from the NSFG show that 6.2 million women (10.2%) between the ages of 15 and 44 in the United States had impaired fertility in 1995 (Stephen 1996). This number was estimated to increase to 6.3 million women in 2000 (Stephen and Chondra 1998). Other reproductive disorders in females that impact fecundity include endometriosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). The prevalence of endometriosis in women of reproductive age is reported to be 10% (Houston 1984 Olive and Schwartz 1993), and no population-based prevalence data exist for PCOS.
