Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate whether infertile women experience faster ovarian aging and have a lower ovarian reserve compared to fertile women by examining antral follicle count (AFC) as a biomarker.
- It involved a large cohort of 15,500 women aged 18 to 45 from fertility centers in Spain, analyzing AFC during specific days of their menstrual cycle.
- Results showed that infertile women had a significantly lower AFC than potential oocyte donors, and the decline in AFC with age was much more pronounced in infertile women, indicating a potential underlying issue contributing to infertility.
