Research News
Around 18 to 30 per cent of all cases of infertility is put down to the failure to ovulate. Infertility is said to affect one in six couples.
The study, which spanned 8 years, tracked 17,544 married women trying to become pregnant. They had participated in a large-scale study at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
The participants were given dietary scores based on their diet, derived from questionnaires the women filled out during the study. Women were awarded scores on whether they took more monounsaturated fats or trans fats, vegetable protein or meat protein, high fat dairy products or low fat dairy products, and multivitamins.
In addition, other lifestyle information such as regularity of exercise and Body Mass Index or BMI — a calculation based on a person's weight to height ratio were also analyzed and scored. It was seen that those women who ate the lowest fat diets with more plant than animal protein, consumed full-fat dairy products, took iron supplements and ate low-glycolic carbohydrates faced the lowest risks of adulatory disorders.
