| description | Objectives
Research investigating the association between reproductive health and diet has predominantly focused on the antenatal and prenatal
periods, as well as childbirth in women, and semen quality in men. There is a limited amount of research addressing female fertility assessed as
ovarian reserve in relation to diet. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the association between dietary patterns and the parameters of ovarian
reserve, such as antral follicle count (AFC), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and estradiol (E2) – predictors of
reproductive health in women of childbearing age.
Material and Methods
Women aged 24–39 years (N = 511) were enrolled from fertility clinic
in central Poland. The count of antral follicles was determined using ultrasonography (USG), FSH and E2 levels were measured using a chemilumi-
nescence method and for determination of AMH level, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method was employed. Diet was assessed according
to food frequency questionnaire and dietary patterns were identified by factor analysis. Women were classified into 3 groups according to scores
of each dietary pattern: Western, mixed, prudent.
Results
Higher adherence to the prudent dietary pattern in obese women was associated with
significantly higher AFC (p = 0.03) and AMH (p = 0.05) as compared to participants with the Western dietary pattern. The results were adjusted for age, BMI, smoking and duration of fertility. Increased consumption of mixed dietary pattern was not statistically significant associated with any of
examined ovarian reserve parameters.
Conclusions
The prudent dietary pattern is positively associated with ovarian reserve in a cohort of women
seeking fertility care. Continued research in this area will provide nutritional guidance for clinicians and their patients and provide novel insight on
potential modifiable lifestyle factors which can be associated with ovarian reserve. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2024;37(4):411–20 |
