Odds of elevated MRS score in midlife women with lifetime history of infertilitya
| UNADJUSTED | MODEL 1 | MODEL 2 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total MRS divided at the median | OR (95% CI) | OR (95% CI) | OR (95% CI) |
| ≤ median (0–7) (n=384) | Ref. | Ref. | Ref. |
| > median (8–33) (n=307) | 1.52 (1.11 to 2.08) | 1.42 (1.02 to 1.96) | 1.45 (1.04 to 2.01) |
| Total MRS severity by category b | |||
| none or minimal (n=211) | Ref. | Ref. | Ref. |
| mild (n=221) | 1.10 (0.74 to 1.64) | 1.03 (0.68 to 1.56) | 1.04 (0.69 to 1.58) |
| moderate (n=197) | 1.27 (0.84 to 1.90) | 1.15 (0.75 to 1.76) | 1.18 (0.77 to 1.81) |

a
Estimates obtained from logistic or multinomial regression models. Women without history of infertility are the reference group.
b
Categories: None or minimal severity, score 0–4; Mild severity, score 5–8; Moderate severity, score 9–16; Severe, score ≥17
Model 1: adjusted for maternal age at enrollment (years), race/ethnicity (White, black, other*). Model 2: model 1 + household income>$70,000 (yes/no) and married/cohabiting (yes/no).
*
Other includes Asian or Pacific Islander (n= 41), Hispanic (n= 39), More than one race or ethnicity (n=23) and unclassified (n=1)
