Implications of serum uric acid for female infertility: results from the national health and nutrition examination survey, 2013–2020
BACKGROUND: There is limited concrete evidence connecting serum uric acid levels to female infertility. Therefore, this study aimed to find out if serum uric acid levels are independently related to female infertility. METHODS: From the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013–...

description | BACKGROUND: There is limited concrete evidence connecting serum uric acid levels to female infertility. Therefore, this study aimed to find out if serum uric acid levels are independently related to female infertility. METHODS: From the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013–2020, a total sample of 5872 chosen female participants between the ages of 18 and 49 were identified for this cross-sectional study. The serum uric acid levels (mg/dL) of each participant were tested, and the reproductive health questionnaire was used to evaluate each subject's reproductive status. Both in the analyses of the full sample and each subgroup, logistic regression models were used to evaluate the relationship between the two variables. A stratified multivariate logistic regression model was used to perform the subgroup analysis based on serum uric acid levels. RESULTS: Infertility was found in 649 (11.1%) of the 5,872 female adults in this study, with greater mean serum uric acid levels (4.7 mg/dL vs. 4.5 mg/dL). Serum uric acid levels were associated with infertility in both the initial and adjusted models. According to multivariate logistic regression, the odds of female infertility were found to be significantly higher with rising serum uric acid levels (Q4 [≥ 5.2 mg/dL] vs. Q1 [≤ 3.6 mg/dL]), adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.59, p = 0.002]. The data suggests that there is a dose–response relationship between the two. CONCLUSIONS: The results from this nationally representative sample from the United States confirmed the idea that there is a link between increased serum uric acid levels and female infertility. Future research is necessary to evaluate the relationship between serum uric acid levels and female infertility and explicate the underlying mechanisms of this relationship. |
