Plasma glycemic measures and fecundability in a Singapore preconception cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the association between plasma glycemia in women attempting to conceive and fecundability, as measured by time to pregnancy.

Design

Prospective preconception population-based study.

Setting

Hospital.

Patient(s)

Asian preconception women, 18-45 years old, attempting conception for ≤12 cycles at study entry.

Intervention(s)

None.

Main outcome measure(s)

We ascertained time to pregnancy within a year of glycemic assessment in menstrual cycles. We estimated fecundability ratios (FRs) and 95% confidence intervals using discrete-time proportional hazards models, adjusting for age, ethnicity, education, body mass index, and cycle regularity and accounting for left truncation and right censoring.

Result(s)

We studied a populati
