Association between visceral adipose surrogates and infertility among reproductive-aged females: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) exerts a substantial influence on female infertility. Nevertheless, the relationship between VAT surrogates and female infertility remains ambiguous.

Methods

This study employed a cross-sectional design and analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2012-2016). Weighted logistic regression models were utilized to examine the association between VAT surrogates and infertility. Furthermore, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was conducted to assess the diagnostic efficacy of these surrogates for infertility.

Results

Individuals experiencing infertility exhibited markedly elevated levels of the Chinese Visceral Adiposity Index (CVAI) (108.30 vs. 69.86, P<0.001) and V
