The Anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) reference value is an important indicator of ovarian function. The main targets of this were to screen the geographical environmental factors that may influence the distribution of AMH reference values in Chinese females of childbearing age, and to further explore the geographical distribution differences of AMH reference values. We gathered the AMH data of 28,402 healthy Chinese females from 62 cities in China for this study in order to conduct a spearman regression analysis to determine the relationship between the AMH and 30 geography factors. The AMH reference value in different regions was forecasted by using a ridge regression model. The magnitude of influence from the geographical factor on different regions was analysed by geographically weighted regression. Ultimately, We were able to figure out the geographic distribution risk prediction of AMH reference values by utilizing the disjunctive Kriging method. The AMH reference value was significantly correlated with the 16 secondary indexes. The geographical distribution of AMH showed a trend of being higher in Qinghai-Tibet and Southern regions, and lower in the Northwest and Northern regions. This study lays the foundation for future investigations into the mechanism of different influencing factors on the reference value of AMH. It is suggested that such regional variations in AMH reference values be taken into account while diagnosing and treating individuals with reproductive medicine.
抗缪勒管激素(AMH)参考值是评估卵巢功能的重要指标。本研究旨在筛选可能影响中国育龄女性 AMH 参考值分布的地理环境因素,进一步探讨 AMH 参考值的地理分布差异。我们收集了来自中国 62 个城市的 28402 名健康中国女性的 AMH 数据,对其进行 Spearman 回归分析,以确定 AMH 与 30 个地理因素之间的关系。利用脊回归模型对不同地区的 AMH 参考值进行预测,通过地理加权回归分析地理因素对不同地区的影响程度。最后,利用离散克立格法进行 AMH 参考值的地理分布风险预测。AMH 参考值与 16 个二级指标显著相关。AMH 的地理分布呈现出青藏地区和南部地区较高,西北地区和北部地区较低的趋势。本研究为探讨不同影响因素对 AMH 参考值的作用机制奠定了基础。建议在生殖医学个体的诊断和治疗中考虑 AMH 参考值的区域性差异。
