The case for a coordinating centre for birth cohort studies.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Obesity, a body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2 , is linked to infertility, potentially through a greater risk of anovulation due to elevated androgens. Yet, previous studies have not directly assessed the impact of adiposity, or body fat, on anovulation in the absence of clinical infertility. OBJECTIVE:To chara...
