Demographic, lifestyle, and other factors in relation to antimullerian hormone levels in mostly late premenopausal women.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To identify reproductive, lifestyle, hormonal, and other correlates of circulating antimüllerian hormone (AMH) concentrations in mostly late premenopausal women.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

Not applicable.

Patient(s)

A total of 671 premenopausal women not known to have cancer.

Intervention(s)

None.

Main outcome measure(s)

Concentrations of AMH were measured in a single laboratory using the picoAMH ELISA. Multivariable-adjusted median (and interquartile range) AMH concentrations were calculated using quantile regression for several potential correlates.

Result(s)

Older women had significantly lower AMH concentrations (≥40 [n = 444] vs. <35 years [n = 64], multivariable-adjusted median 0.73 ng/mL vs. 2.52 ng/mL). Concentra
