Methods

This is a prospective cohort study including 231 couples with 407 IVF cycles, presented at an academic fertility center from April 2007 to April 2018.

We evaluated adjusted probability of IVF outcomes across the quartiles of the adherence to two dietary patterns by generalized linear mixed models.

Results

Men had a median age of 36.8 years and BMI of 26.9 kg/m². Women's median age and BMI were 35.0 years and 23.1 kg/m², respectively. Adherence to Dietary Pattern 1 (r_Pears
