Abstract
Introduction: Over the last few decades, fertility has declined globally to unprecedented low levels. Objective: Main goal was to determine whether the micronutrient supplements have any impact on female fertility. Method: This prospective observational study was conducted at the Department of Gynae and Obs, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Total 142 patients were enrolled in the study, during July 2019 to June 2020. Analysis of different variables were done according to standard statistical tool Spss and calculations were done using scientific calculators & using MS-excel program in computer. The present study was conducted after receiving approval from the Medical and Health Research Ethics Committee (MHREC). Result: For vitamins C and E, mean nutritional intake surpassed the estimated average requirement (EAR). There were no variations in antioxidant consumption across the groups. In multivariable models, women with a body mass index (BMI) of R25 kg/m2 had shorter TTP when they took vitamin B6 from dietary supplements. Vitamin C from dietary supplements was also linked to a shorter TTP among women with a BMI of less than 25 kg/m2. Conclusion: Women with a BMI of 25 kg/m2 had a shorter TTP when their vitamin C intake increased, while women with a BMIR of 25 kg/m2 had a shorter TTP when their vitamin B6 intake increased.
