Outline of Final Research Achievements

The original cohort was established in 2015 and serum and urine specimens were collected from 80 participants. The participants were healthy women aged between 23 and 34 years old who had never given birth and had never consulted a medical doctor about infertility. We conducted follow-up studies in 2016 and in 2017. We statistically analyzed association between fecundability (probability of conception per menstrual cycle) and age, coital frequency, BMI, and serum concentration of anti-Müllerian (AMH) hormone. Coital frequency was significantly positively associated with fecundability, whereas there was no significant association between fecundability and age, BMI, or AMH concentration.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

今回対象とした比較的若い年齢層の健康な女性においては、年齢や卵巣予備能を示すといわれるバイオマーカー(抗ミュラー管ホルモン濃度)といった生理学的な要因ではなく、性交の頻度という行動要因が受胎確率との関連を示した。これらの生理学的および行動要因の妊娠確率に及ぼす影響を同時に評価した点に本研究の学術的意義がある。社会的意義としては、妊娠を希望するカップルは性交頻度を高くすることでより高い妊娠確率を期待できるという、容易に予想される結果を明確なデータで示したことにある。
