We consider spin-1/2 Fermi gases in arbitrary, integer or non-integer spatial dimensions, interacting via a Dirac delta potential. We first generalize the method of Tan's distributions and implement short-range boundary conditions to arbitrary dimension and we obtain a set of universal relations for the Fermi gas, which serve as dimensional interpolation/extrapolation formulae in between integer dimensions. We show that, under very general conditions, effective reduced-dimensional scattering lengths due to transversal confinement depend on the original three-dimensional scattering length in a universal way. As a direct consequence, we find that confinement-induced resonances occur in all dimensions different from D=2, without any need to solve the associated multichannel scattering problem. Finally, we show that reduced-dimensional contacts --- related to the tails of the momentum distributions --- are connected to the actual three-dimensional contact through a correction factor of purely geometric origin.
