Abstract Sperm DNA fragmentation (sDF) negatively affects reproduction and is traditionally detected in total sperm population including viable and non-viable spermatozoa. Here, we aimed at exploring the ability of DNA fragmentation to discriminate fertile and subfertile men when detected in viable (viable sDF), non-viable (non-viable sDF), and total spermatozoa (total sDF). We revealed sDF in 91 male partners of infertile couples and 71 fertile men (max 1 year from natural conception) with LiveTUNEL coupled to flow cytometry, able to reveal simultaneously DNA fragmentation and cell viability. We found that the three sDF parameters discriminated fertile and subfertile men with similar accuracy and independently from age and basal semen parameters: AUCs (area under the curves) (95% CI) were: 0.696 (0.615–0.776), p < 0.001 for total sDF; 0.718 (0.640–0.797), p < 0.001 for viable sDF; 0.760 (0.685–0.835), p < 0.001 for non-viable sDF. We also found that total and non-viable but not viable sDF significantly correlated to age and semen quality. In conclusion, the three sDF parameters similarly discriminated fertile and subfertile men. Viable spermatozoa with DNA fragmentation are likely cells able to fertilize the oocyte but failing to properly support subsequent embryo development. Non-viable sDF could be a sign of a subtler damage extended beyond the non-viable cells.
