Association between uterine fibroids and antimullerian hormone concentrations among African American women.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the extent to which uterine fibroids are associated with antimüllerian hormone (AMH) concentrations.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

Baseline data from the Study of the Environment, Lifestyle, and Fibroids, which is a 5-year longitudinal study of African American women.

Patient(s)

A total of 1,643 women aged 23-35 years without a known history of fibroids.

Exposure

Fibroid presence.

Intervention(s)

None.

Main outcome measure(s)

The primary outcome was percent difference in the mean AMH concentration between participants with fibroids and those without fibroids. The secondary outcomes were percent differences in the mean AMH concentrations in participants with different numbers, sizes, types, and positions of fibr
