Antimullerian hormone in relation to tobacco and marijuana use and sources of indoor heating/cooking.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate exposure to tobacco, marijuana, and indoor heating/cooking sources in relation to antimüllerian hormone (AMH) levels.

Design

Cross-sectional analysis in a sample of premenopausal women (n = 913) enrolled in the Sister Study cohort (n = 50,884).

Setting

Not applicable.

Patient(s)

Women, ages 35-54 years at time of enrollment, with an archived serum sample and at least one intact ovary and classified as premenopausal.

Intervention(s)

Not applicable.

Main outcome measure(s)

Serum AMH (ng/mL) levels ascertained by ultrasensitive ELISA assay.

Result(s)

Lower AMH levels were associated with sources of indoor heating, including burning wood (-36.0%; 95% confidence interval [CI], -55.7%, -7.8%) or artificial fire logs (-45.8%;
