Reproductive Origins of Allergies in Children

Abstract

term pregnancy was skewed younger for women without history of infertility (p<0.001), though sensitivity analysis adjusting for this variable did not affect most results.CONCLUSIONS: In the Women's Health Initiative, infertile and fertile women differed significantly on many demographic, medical/reproductive, and lifestyle characteristics. Further study is warranted to validate these findings in a contemporary cohort.IMPACT STATEMENT: The large WHI cohort demonstrates that the fertile and infertile cohort differ along multiple dimensions after adjustment for confounders, which can be used to counsel and risk stratify patients.
