Association Between Biomarkers of Ovarian Reserve and Infertility Among Older Women of Reproductive Age.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Despite lack of evidence of their utility, biomarkers of ovarian reserve are being promoted as potential markers of reproductive potential.

Objective

To determine the associations between biomarkers of ovarian reserve and reproductive potential among women of late reproductive age.

Design, setting, and participants

Prospective time-to-pregnancy cohort study (2008 to date of last follow-up in March 2016) of women (N = 981) aged 30 to 44 years without a history of infertility who had been trying to conceive for 3 months or less, recruited from the community in the Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, area.

Exposures

Early-follicular-phase serum level of antimüllerian hormone (AMH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and inhibin B and urinary level of FSH.<
