Association between a history of depression and anti-müllerian hormone among late-reproductive aged women: the Harvard study of moods and cycles

摘要

Although all women were between 36 and 45 years of age (Table 1), depressed women were slightly older than non-depressed women (23% vs. 13% were 44–45 years old, respectively). In addition, depressed women were more likely to have ever smoked cigarettes (55% depressed vs. 47% non-depressed) or to have used oral contraceptives (73% depressed vs. 67% non-depressed) in their lifetime. Depressed women were considerably more likely to be nulliparous (60% depressed vs. 37% non-depressed), but reported lower two-year infertility rates (11% depressed vs. 22% non-depressed). Body mass index (BMI), race, age at menarche, and average menstrual cycle lengths were similar between depressed and non-depressed women.
