Association between different insulin resistance surrogates and infertility in reproductive-aged females.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Obesity and metabolic syndrome are observed more frequently in infertile women, and insulin resistance (IR) is closely related to them. However, there are no studies that have examined the association between different IR surrogates and female infertility, hence we investigated the potential association between them in the general population.

Methods

This was a cross-sectional study using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2013-2018). The association of different IR surrogates (HOMA-IR index, TyG index and TyG-BMI index) with female infertility was estimated by multivariable regression analysis.

Results

After adjusting for confounders, the HOMA-IR index and TyG index did not show an association with female infertility, w
