Ethnic and Sociocultural Differences in Ovarian Reserve: Age-Specific Anti-Mullerian Hormone Values and Antral Follicle Count for Women of the Arabian Peninsula.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and antral follicle count (AFC) age-specific reference values form the basis of infertility treatments, yet they were based upon studies performed primarily on Caucasian populations. However, they may vary across different age-matched ethnic populations. This study aimed to describe age-specific serum AMH and AFC for women native to the Arabian Peninsula.

Methods

A retrospective large-scale study was performed including 2,495 women, aged 19 to 50 years, native to the Arabian Peninsula. AMH and AFC were measured as part of their fertility assessment at tertiary-care fertility centres. Age-specific values and nomograms were calculated.

Results

2,495 women were evaluated. Mean, standard deviation and median values were calculated f
