Evaluating the impact of visceral fat on the outcomes of frozen embryo transfer via bioelectrical impedance analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The increasing prevalence of obesity underscores the need to explore its impact on assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the association between visceral fat area (VFA), measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and pregnancy outcomes following frozen embryo transfer (FET).

Methods

In this retrospective clinical study, the data of 1,510 patients who underwent FET between April 2022 and April 2023 were analyzed. The VFA was measured by BIA, and patients were categorized into low and high VFA groups based on a threshold of 65 cm². Pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups. Univariable and multivariate logistic regression analyses, along with restricted cubic spline (RCS) modeling, were used to adjust for
