A systematic review and meta-analysis of the association between vitamin D and ovarian reserve

Abstract It is hypothesized that vitamin D deficiency could be related to ovarian reserve. This systematic review and meta-analysis was undertaken to analyze the possible association between vitamin D and ovarian reserve among adolescent and adult women. All eligible studies identified through the I...
