Key Points

  • The aim is to explore how anthropometric measurements relate to serum progesterone levels for predicting ovulation in infertile women.
  • Measured anthropometric parameters including cormic index, WHR, and WHtR.
  • Compared these measurements with serum progesterone levels.
  • Analyzed data to identify potential predictors of ovulation.
  • Cormic index effectively predicts ovulation when analyzed with WHR and WHtR.
  • Combination of these measures could reduce reliance on costly hormonal assays.
  • Findings suggest practical applications in low-resource settings.

Abstract

Cormic index could potentially be used alone or in combination with WHR and WHtR to predict ovulation amongst infertile women, obviating the need for routine costly hormonal assays. This would be especially useful in low-resource settings with high levels of poverty, where insurance does not cover infertility investigations.
