Association between anti-Mullerian hormone levels and polycystic ovary syndrome in a general cohort of young women in Japan.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) significantly affects women. This study investigated the association between serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels and menstrual cycle disorders, and AMH for PCOS in a general cohort of young Japanese women.

Methods

We measured serum AMH levels in 528 healthy female students at two universities in Japan between 2014 and 2020. We investigated the association between serum AMH levels and hormone levels, menstrual cycle, and body mass index.

Results

The mean (±standard deviation) AMH level was 4.78 ± 2.88 ng/mL. Correlations were observed between serum AMH and luteinizing hormone (LH) or LH/follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in women with irregular menstruation (LH: r = 0.542, p < 0.001; LH/FSH: r =
