The relationship between anti-Müllerian hormone serum level and body mass index in a large cohort of infertile patients

Purpose To evaluate the relationship between serum Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level and body mass index (BMI) in infertile patients. Methods Medical records of patients with infertility evaluated between January 2013 and February 2018 in the Reproductive Medicine Department of a private hospital were reviewed. Patients with the following criteria were excluded from the study: polycystic ovary syndrome, primary ovarian insufficiency, AMH values > 10 ng/mL, current oral contraceptive users and previous ovarian surgery or endometriosis, and anovulation of other causes, except decreased ovarian reserve. Results A total of 2204 infertile patients were included (mean age 34.58 ± 4.3 years, mean BMI 22.35 ± 3.6 kg/m 2 , and mean serum AMH 2.44 ± 2.17 ng/ml). In the entire group of patients, serum AMH level was positively correlated with BMI after adjustment for age (beta = 0.059, p
