| Summary: | Objective: Infertility and obesity are problems that have been on the rise in the past two decades. Anti-mullerian
hormone (AMH) is a useful marker of ovarian reserve and is frequently estimated while treating infertility patients.
Our study aims at evaluating the relationship between serum AMH levels and BMI in infertile patients with and
without polycystic ovarian disease. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 women attending the
OPD for infertility treatment from February 2019 to January 2020 at a semi urban hospital in India. All patients
underwent gynaecological examination and basic infertility investigations including BMI calculation. Serum AMH
levels were estimated for all patients. Women were divided into 2 groups - those with PCOD and without PCOD.
Results: Mean overall AMH level was 4.86± 4.44 ng/ml. There was no significant correlation between BMI and
AMH levels in the non PCOD group (r - 0.022, p > 0.05). However, in the PCOD group, there was inverse correlation
between BMI and AMH levels which was significant (r - 0.285, p< 0.05). Conclusion: There is no significant
correlation of BMI and AMH levels in infertile women without PCOD. However, in women with PCOD, there is
significant inverse correlation of BMI with serum AMH levels. |
