Association between cardiometabolic index and female infertility: A population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

One of the risk indicators of infertility is obesity. The cardiometabolic index (CMI) comprises obesity and blood lipids and is regarded as a novel indicator for evaluating obesity. Nevertheless, it is unclear whether it has any connection to infertility. This study set out to investigate the association between infertility and CMI.

Methods

Based on cross-sectional data from the 2013-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), infertility and CMI statistics with complete information were selected. This study investigated the correlation between CMI and infertility using multivariate logistic regression analyses and subgroups. Use fitted smooth curves and threshold effect analysis to describe the nonlinear association between CMI and infertility
