Higher oxidative balance score is associated with lower female infertility: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An imbalance of the pro-oxidant and antioxidant profiles in the body contributes to the development of diseases, including female infertility.

Methods

In this study, we performed a secondary analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and calculated the values of oxidative balance score (OBS). A weighted logistic regression model was used to explore the potential relationship between OBS (continuous factor and quartile set) and female infertility, and the P for trend was calculated. Subgroup analyses were also carried out further to explore the association between OBS and female infertility, and the P for interactions were obtained.

Results

There were 1,626 females (aged 18 to 45) included in the study, including 198 with infertility an
