Age-specific distribution of serum anti-mullerian hormone and antral follicle count in Indian infertile women

Background: Ovarian reserve declines with age. However, there are considerable ethnic differences in the decline of ovarian reserve between individuals. Aim: This study aimed to make age-specific percentile charts of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) and antral follicle count (AFC) in Indian infertile women and to find the proportion of young women with low ovarian reserve. Setting and Design: This was a retrospective data analysis of AMH and AFC of 5525 infertile women from August 2015 to December 2018. Materials and Methods: Infertile women aged 20–44 years, with body mass index 18–32 kg/m2 and having both ovaries were included in the study. Women with pituitary/adrenal disorders, malignancy, total AFC >40, tuberculosis, endometriosis, autoimmune disorders, smoking, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and recent ovarian surgery were excluded from the study. Statistical Analysis: Comparison between groups was done by Chi-square test. Results: About 14.5% of women 35 years had low AMH values (35 years had a low AFC of ≤5. In this study, 55.7% of women who had low AMH and 50.7% who had low AFC were
