Adherence to a 'fertility diet' pattern (high monounsaturated/trans fat ratio, vegetable protein, high-fat dairy, iron, multivitamins; low animal protein, glycemic load, low-fat dairy) is associated with a significantly lower risk of ovulatory disorder infertility.
To support ovulatory fertility, prioritize a diet rich in monounsaturated fats (like olive oil), vegetable proteins, high-fat dairy, iron, and multivitamins, while limiting trans fats, animal proteins, and high-glycemic carbohydrates. This pattern is associated with a substantially lower risk of ovulatory disorder infertility.
Increasing adherence to a 'fertility diet' pattern was associated with a lower risk of ovulatory disorder infertility. The multivariable-adjusted relative risk of ovulatory disorder infertility comparing women in the highest with women in the lowest quintile of the 'fertility diet' pattern score was 0.34 (95% confidence interval 0.23– 0.48; P for trend<.001).
Why this rating
Prospective cohort study with large sample size (17,544 women) and long follow-up (8 years), but observational design limits causal inference.
